§ 6101.16.
When it is determined to let the work relating to the improvements for which a conservancy
district was established by contract, contracts in excess of the amount specified
in section 9.17 of the Revised Code shall be advertised after notice calling for bids has been published once a week
for two consecutive weeks or as provided in section 7.16 of the Revised Code , with the last publication to occur at least eight days prior to the date on which
bids will be accepted, in a newspaper of general circulation within the conservancy
district where the work is to be done. If the bids are for a contract for the construction, demolition, alteration, repair,
or reconstruction of an improvement, the board of directors of the conservancy district
may let the contract to the lowest responsive and most responsible bidder who meets
the requirements of section 153.54 of the Revised Code . If the bids are for a contract for any other work relating to the improvements for
which a conservancy district was established, the board of directors of the district
may let the contract to the lowest responsive and most responsible bidder who gives
a good and approved bond, with ample security, conditioned on the carrying out of
the contract. The contract shall be in writing and shall be accompanied by or refer to plans and
specifications for the work to be done prepared by the chief engineer. The plans and specifications shall at all times be made and considered a part of
the contract. The contract shall be approved by the board and signed by the president of the board
and by the contractor and shall be executed in duplicate. In case of sudden emergency when it is necessary in order to protect the district,
the advertising of contracts may be waived upon the consent of the board, with the
approval of the court or a judge of the court of common pleas of the county in which
the office of the district is located. No project subject to this section shall be divided into component parts, separate
projects, or separate items of work in order to avoid the requirements of this section.
