City Bill Delimits Contract Practice for City Work
A proposed Bankland bill defines that when city work by contract is required the council may obtain an estimate from the city clerk before advertising bids. If bids exceed the estimate or no bids are filed, the council can undertake the work without a contract and hire needed labor and materials. The measure allows the city to set a reasonable price for jobs and empowers contractors to accept terms based on those figures.
