Advertisement for bids - Bids - Bond of contractor
Official statutory text
The board of county commissioners shall cause an advertisement
for bids for the erection of such buildings to be printed in some
newspaper printed in the county, or of general circulation therein
if there be no newspaper published in said county, for a period of
at least thirty (30) days prior to the date set for the opening of
bids, and in such other newspapers in the state as the board may
deem advisable. Such advertisement shall give the place where the
plans and specifications may be examined, the date on which bids
will be opened, the time which will be allowed for the completion of
such building, and such other information as the board may direct.
Bids may be opened, considered, passed upon, and contracts for the
erection of said buildings let at any regular session of said board,
or at a special session thereof called for such purpose, but in all
cases the bids must be opened and contracts let in open session of
said board. The lowest responsible bid must in all cases be
accepted unless all bids are rejected, and the contract for such
buildings shall be so conditioned that not more than ninety percent
(90%) of the price agreed to be paid for the construction thereof
shall be paid until the terms of the contract shall have been fully
complied with and the buildings completed to the satisfaction of the
board and accepted by them. The said board of county commissioners
may require to be filed with each bid a bond, or in lieu thereof a
certified check, conditioned that the bidder will enter into a
contract with approved security for the performance of the work in
accordance with the plans and specifications in case his bid be
accepted, and, when such contract is awarded to any such bidder,
such bidder shall execute to the county a good and sufficient bond
in the sum of such contract, with two or more sureties, to be
approved by the board of county commissioners, conditioned for the
faithful and full performance of such contract.
