The board shall award the contract to the lowest responsible bidder, requiring the<br>bidder to give a bond in a sum not less than the amount stipulated in the bid or contract,<br>conditioned for the faithful compliance with the terms of the bid or contract, the bond to be<br>approved by the board and filed in the office of the county auditor but the board may reject all<br>bids. If all bids are rejected, the board shall readvertise as provided herein. Provided, however,<br>that if the amount of the lowest responsible bid is less than fifteen thousand dollars, the board<br>may refuse all bids received and proceed to construct the bridge under its own supervision as it<br>deems most expedient and may enter into contracts for the labor or material to be used in the<br>construction of the bridge.24-08-02.
