When public work for the city is to be done on contract, an advertisement for bids from contractors shall be given by the clerk-treasurer by publishing the advertisement for two consecutive weeks in the official town newspaper, and also in such other newspaper or newspapers as the council may in any specific instance direct. Such advertisement shall call for sealed bids and require that each bid be accompanied by a certified check for not less than five percent the amount of the bid, and state that no bid will be considered unless accompanied by such check, and the advertisement shall state the time until which bids will be received by the clerk-treasurer, which time shall be at 5:00 p.m. in the afternoon of the date of the meeting of the city council, either regular or special, next after the last publication of the notice in the official newspaper.
