Official statutory text
in emergency – District bidding process.
A. When it is determined to let the work of a master
conservancy district by contract, contracts in amounts to exceed One
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) shall be advertised after
notices calling for bids have been published once a week, for three
(3) consecutive weeks completed on date of last publication, which
shall not be less than fourteen (14) days from the first
publication, in at least one newspaper in each county, where any
part of the work under terms of the contract is to be performed.
The board may let the contract to the lowest and best bidder, who
shall give a good and approved bond, with ample security, equal in
amount to the total of the bid, conditioned on the carrying out of
the contract to completion, and shall file the bond and contract
with the secretary of the district in amount and conditions as
provided by law, conditioned on the carrying out of the contract.
The contract shall be in writing and shall be approved by the board
of directors and signed by the president of the board and by the
contractor. In the case of sudden emergency when it is necessary in
order to protect the district or when the board determines that the
contract must be implemented by a sole source or in any situation in
which the Public Competitive Bidding Act of 1974 would allow a state
agency to do so, the advertising of contracts may be waived.
B. The board of directors of any conservancy district may adopt
rules establishing a district competitive bidding process not in
conflict with the provisions of this section.
