The bond shall provide that, if the operator defaults on the development contract, it shall pay to the board all damages sustained as a result of the default. The commissioner of capital asset management and maintenance shall assist the board in overseeing the operator's activities under the development contract and shall advise the board on the adequacy of such development activities. If no development contract is executed within sixty days of the designation of the operator or the required bond is not posted, the operator selection shall be set aside, and the procedures established in section twenty-seven shall be repeated in order to select a replacement operator; provided, however, that the community supervisory committee shall select such replacement operator within thirty days of the expiration of the time for the operator originally selected to execute the development contract or post the performance bond.
