48-2053. Option of sanitary district to reject
bids; sanitary district as contractor; limitation of
assessment
The board may, within ten days after the time fixed for opening bids, by resolution
adopted by a vote of two-thirds of its members, order that the proposed contract not be
entered into and that the sanitary district itself perform the work according to the
plans and specifications as adopted for the work. If it is so ordered, the district
shall be considered the contractor. The district shall not be permitted to assess an
amount in excess of the amount proposed by the lowest responsible bidder or, if no bids
have been received, in excess of the amount of the estimate.
