In the event an owner is authorized to construct or cause to be constructed the whole or any part of such proposed facilities pursuant to paragraph (b) of Section 77-3-203 or pursuant to such authority and Section 77-3-205, the owner may first reach written agreement with the holder of the certificate for the area and service affected as to the reasonable cost of doing so, or for a maximum figure of reasonable cost of doing so, which reasonable cost in either event shall be subject to approval of the public service commission. If no such agreement can be reached, the owner may publish notice that bids will be received for construction of the same, which notice shall be published in the manner and for the time as required by law for publication of such notices with respect to contracts for construction by boards of supervisors of counties of this state. However, no contract shall be consummated pursuant thereto until the contract shall be approved by the commission. No such contract shall be executed unless the contractor shall furnish a good and sufficient surety bond, executed by the contractor or contractors and one or more surety companies authorized to do business in this state for the faithful performance of such contract.
