7 Sec. 30-30. Contracts in excess of $250,000. For
8 building construction contracts in excess of $250,000,

14 temperature control systems, including the testing and
15 balancing of those systems;
16 (3) ventilating and distribution systems for
17 conditioned air, including the testing and balancing of
18 those systems;
19 (4) electric wiring; and
20 (5) general contract work; and
21 (6) masonry.
22 The specifications must be so drawn as to permit separate
23 and independent bidding upon each of the 65 subdivisions of
24 work. All contracts awarded for any part thereof shall award
25 the 65 subdivisions of work separately to responsible and
26 reliable persons, firms, or corporations engaged in these
27 classes of work. The contracts, at the discretion of the
28 construction agency, may be assigned to the successful bidder

30 the subdivision of work designated by the construction agency
31 before the bidding as the prime subdivision of work, provided

1 that all payments will be made directly to the contractors
2 for the 65 subdivisions of work upon compliance with the
3 conditions of the contract. A contract may be let for one or
4 more buildings in any project to the same contractor. The
5 specifications shall require, however, that unless the
6 buildings are identical, a separate price shall be submitted
7 for each building. The contract may be awarded to the lowest
8 responsible bidder for each or all of the buildings included
9 in the specifications.
