(4) Knowing violation of section 15 or section 17(2) by an elected or appointed official is grounds for removal from office and disqualification to hold any office of honor, trust or profit in the state, and shall constitute misconduct or malfeasance. (5) A registered voter of the state may enforce section 15 or section 17(2) by filing a complaint for injunctive or declaratory relief or for civil damages and remedies, if appropriate, in the district court. (b) This section applies only to sole source government contracts and does not apply to any contract which used a public and competitive bidding process in which the City solicited at least three bids prior to awarding the contract.
