Construction of coliseum.
The corporation shall go forward with and complete the construction and equipment of the coliseum and facilities necessary in connection therewith as soon as may be practicable following the sale of the bonds. Such construction and equipment shall be done by the corporation under the supervision of the Building Commission upon the award of contract for each part of the work to the lowest responsible bidder after advertisement for and public opening of sealed bids; provided, that for the purpose of determining the lowest responsible bidder, the invitation for bids and the bidding documents shall be so arranged that alternates from the base bid shall constitute cumulative deductions from the base bid in the event such alternates should be selected. All such contracts shall be lump sum contracts and shall be awarded to and executed by the corporation to the respective lowest bidders following determination by the Building Commission of the lowest bidders. Payments made by the corporation under any such contracts shall be only upon the contractor's written, verified statements, when approved by the Building Commission or its agent designated by it, in such amounts as the Building Commission may approve as having been then earned under such contracts. The Building Commission shall be reimbursed by the corporation for all reasonable direct costs incurred by the Building Commission in connection with such construction, including expenses and fees for the preparation of plans, specifications and contract documents and supervision and inspection of the work. Such plans and specifications may be revised and extras may be added to the contracts only when approved by the Building Commission and only to the extent that funds are available therefor.
