40-1143. Bids required by board; exception
The purchase of all supplies, equipment and materials, and construction facilities and works, when the expenditure required exceeds two thousand five hundred dollars shall be by contract let to the lowest responsible bidder. Notice requesting bids shall be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the area at least once and not less than ten days prior to expiration of the period within which bids shall be received. The board may reject any and all bids and readvertise at its discretion. If, after rejecting bids, the board determines and declares by vote of two-thirds of all its members that in its opinion supplies, equipment and materials may be purchased at a lower price on the open market, the board may proceed to purchase the same in the open market without further observances of the provisions requiring contracts, bids or notice. Contracts, in writing or otherwise, may be let without advertising for or inviting bids when any repairs, alterations or other work or for the purchase of materials, supplies, equipment or other property shall be deemed by the board of directors to be of urgent necessity, and shall be authorized by a two-thirds vote of the entire board membership.
