Sec. 80.
Notice for letting contracts and bids.
Except as otherwise provided in Section 9-2-113 of the
Illinois Municipal Code, as now or hereafter amended, notice shall be given
by the committee of local improvements that bids will be received for the
construction of such an improvement, either as a whole or in such sections
as the committee shall specify in its notice, in accordance
with the ordinance therefor. This notice shall state the
time of opening of the bids, and shall further state where
the specifications for the improvement are to be found, and
whether the contracts are to be paid in cash, vouchers or
bonds, and if in vouchers or bonds, then the rate of
interest the vouchers or bonds shall draw. The notice shall
be published at least twice, not more than 30 nor less than
15 days in advance of the opening of the bids, in one or
more newspapers designated by the committee with a general
circulation within the district.
Proposals or bids may be made either for the work as a
whole or for specified sections thereof if permitted by the
specifications which are part of the ordinance. All
proposals or bids offered shall be accompanied by a bid bond
satisfactory to the committee. These proposals or bids
shall be delivered to the committee, and at the time and
place fixed in the specified notice the committee's engineer
or his delegate shall examine and publicly declare the
proposals or bids.
