6-5-1 Contracts and Bids.

Whenever the City Council shall contemplate making any new improvement to be paid for out of the general funds of the City, the City Council shall cause plans and specifications for, and an estimate of the cost of, such improvement to be made. If the estimated cost of such improvement shall be less than $25,000.00, the City may make such improvement without calling for bids for making the same. If the estimated cost of such proposed improvement shall exceed $25,000.00, the City shall, if it shall determine to make such improvement, do so by contract let to the lowest responsible bidder after publication of notice at least twice in a newspaper of general circulation printed and published in the City at least five days prior to the opening of the bid; provided, that when the cost of the contemplated improvement shall exceed the sum of $25,000.00, the same shall not be so divided as to permit the making of such improvement in several parts, except by contract. The City Council shall have the right to reject any or all bids presented, and all notices calling for bids shall so state. If all bids are rejected and the City Council decides to make the improvement, it shall advertise anew in the same manner as before. If, after twice advertising as herein provided, no bid shall be received that is satisfactory, the City Council may proceed under its own direction to make the improvement. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to require bids to be called for or contracts to be let for the conduct or management of any of the departments, business, or property of the City, or for lowering or repairing water mains or sewers, or making connections with water mains or sewers, or for grading, repairing or maintaining streets, sidewalks, bridges, culverts, or conduits in the City.
