374.13 TO ADVERTISE FOR BIDS.
When the plans and specifications are completed and approved by the city council and the
county board, the commission shall, after notice appropriate to inform possible bidders, obtain
bids or proposals for all or any portion of the work or materials, or both, to be done, performed, or
furnished in the construction of the building. All bids or proposals shall be sealed by the bidders
or proposers and filed with the commission at or before the time specified for the opening of bids
or proposals. At the time and place specified for the opening of bids or proposals, the commission
shall meet, open the bids or proposals, tabulate them, and award the contract or contracts to the
responsible bidder whose bid or proposal is the most favorable to the city or county, or reject
all bids and proposals. If all bids or proposals are rejected, the commission may, after similar
notice, obtain more bids or proposals or may modify or change the plans and specifications and
submit the modified plans and specifications to the city council and the county board for approval.
When the modified or changed plans and specifications are satisfactory to both the city council
and the county board, the plans and specifications shall be returned to the commission and the
commission shall proceed again, after similar notice, to obtain bids or proposals. Any contract
awarded by the commission shall be subject to approval by the city council and the county board.
