Awarding 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. Contractors' bids shall
not be held valid longer than forty-five (45) days after the
deadline for filing the proposals with the municipality. The
aggregate amount of the contract shall not exceed the aggregate
estimate of cost submitted by the engineer. 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.
