§ 12.04.060. Manner of doing work; contracts and bids; bonds.

(A)

The Council shall, within 12 months from the date of its decision to proceed with improvements, provide by resolution the time and manner of doing the work of such improvement and may provide for the City or one of the benefitted parties to do the work (with an agreement that that party will be reimbursed through the future assessment ordinance) or it may award the work on contract.

(B)

In the event that the work is done under contract, bids shall be received after advertisement for such time as the Council may determine on all such work, the estimated cost of which is more than $1,000.00. Unless the necessary findings can be made which would justify an award of a contract without competitive bids in accordance with the City's purchasing policies, the contract shall be let to the lowest responsible bidder, provided that the Council shall have the right to reject all bids when they are deemed unreasonable or unsatisfactory.

(C)

The Council shall provide for taking security by bond for the faithful performance of any contract let under its authority, and the provisions thereof, in case of default, shall be enforced by action in the name of the City.
