§ 29-1-705 — Agency of local government to submit cost estimate

Whenever an agency of local government proposes to undertake the construction
of a state-funded public project, by any means or method other than by a contract
awarded by competitive bid, it shall prepare and submit a cost estimate in the same
manner as other bidders. Such agency of government itself may not undertake the
proposed state-funded public project unless it shows the lowest and most
responsive cost estimate.
