(70 ILCS 2805/77) (from Ch. 42, par. 447.41)
Sec. 77.
Letting contracts and performance of
work by municipality. Except as otherwise provided in
Section 9-2-113 of the Illinois Municipal Code, as now or hereafter
amended, any work or other public improvement, to be paid for in whole or
in part by special assessment or special taxation, when the
expense thereof will exceed $10,000, shall be constructed by
contract let to the lowest responsible bidder in the manner
prescribed in this Act.
In case of any work which it is estimated will not cost
more than $10,000, if, before or after receiving bids, it
appears to the committee of local improvements that the work can be
performed better and cheaper by the district, the committee may
perform that work and employ or contract for the necessary
help or contractor without the necessity of obtaining bids
therefor.
