may let the contract to the lowest responsible 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
