§ 2. [Bids required.]  


Latest version.
  • Subject to the provisions of this Charter, the city may through its departments, officers and employees, perform public works of all kinds or it may let any such work by contract. The city shall not, however, undertake or contract for the performance of any public work exceeding an estimated cost of twelve thousand dollars ($12,000.00) until it has first advertised for sealed proposals therefor; provided however, that by a vote of five (5) of the members of the commission elect, the city itself may perform work in excess of that cost without advertisement. The city shall in all cases have the right to reject any or all competitive bids, and shall not be obligated to purchase from the lowest bidder.
