Construction Procedure

Upon notification by the Governor that the improvement district has been created, the Department of Public Works shall prepare invitations to bid, based upon the plans and specifications as approved, and proceed to advertise for bids as in other contracts for construction. When bids are received, the contract shall be let to the lowest and best bidder; but the contract price may not exceed the final estimate of costs of construction submitted by the Department of Public Works as hereinbefore provided. If no such bids are received, the Department of Public Works shall proceed with the authorized construction. Such Department shall keep exact and detailed records of all costs of construction.
