 1    and  independent bidding upon each of the 6 5 subdivisions of
 2    work.  All contracts awarded for any part thereof shall award
 3    the 6 5 subdivisions of work separately  to  responsible  and
 4    reliable  persons,  firms,  or  corporations engaged in these
 5    classes of work.  The contracts, at  the  discretion  of  the
 6    construction agency, may be assigned to the successful bidder
 7    on  the  general contract work or to the successful bidder on
 8    the subdivision of work designated by the construction agency
 9    before the bidding as the prime subdivision of work, provided
10    that all payments will be made directly  to  the  contractors
11    for  the  6  5  subdivisions of work upon compliance with the
12    conditions of the contract.  A contract may be let for one or
13    more buildings in any project to the same  contractor.    The
14    specifications   shall  require,  however,  that  unless  the
15    buildings are identical, a separate price shall be  submitted
16    for each building.  The contract may be awarded to the lowest
17    responsible  bidder for each or all of the buildings included
18    in the specifications.
