4. The contract will be awarded, if there is no higher bid after three calls for a bid. The auctioneer may, in the name of the client, reserve or refuse the award if a special reason exists. If several persons submit the same bid at the same time and no higher bid is made after three calls, the lot decides on the award. The auctioneer is authorized to withdraw the award and resubmit the matter, if a higher bid has been missed in due time and this has been immediately objected to by the bidder or if there is any doubt as to the award.
