Award of contract - Aggregate cost
Official statutory text
At the time and place named in the notice for proposals to
contractors, the municipal governing body shall examine all bids
received. Without unnecessary delay, the governing body shall award
the contract to the lowest and best bidder, who will perform the
work and furnish the materials which have been selected, and perform
all the conditions imposed by the governing body, as prescribed in
the resolution ordering the improvement and notice for proposals.
The aggregate amount of the contract shall not exceed the aggregate
estimate of cost submitted by the engineer for the improvement, and
in the event of any excess in cost over the engineer's estimate, the
excess shall be void and no assessments for such excess may be
levied. The governing body shall have the right to award a contract
for all or a portion of the improvement or to reject any or all
bids, and to readvertise for other bids when any bids are not, in
its judgment, satisfactory. The letting of the contract shall not
be complete until the contract is duly executed and the bonds
approved.
