§ 37-3-110 — Contracts

When it is determined to let the work by contract,
contracts in amounts in excess of ten thousand dollars shall be advertised after
notice by publication calling for bids, and the board may reject any or all bids or
may let said contract to the lowest or best bidder who gives a good and approved
bond with ample security, conditioned on the carrying out of the contract. Such
contract shall be in writing and shall be accompanied by or shall refer to plans and
specifications for the work to be done prepared by the chief engineer. Said contract
shall be approved by the board of directors and signed by the president of the
district and by the contractor and shall be executed in duplicate; but in case of
sudden emergency when it is necessary in order to protect the district, the
advertising of contracts may be waived upon the unanimous consent of the board of
directors, with the approval of the court; but the provisions of this section shall not
apply if it is determined by the board of directors that the work be done on force
account.
