§ 20.28.050. Fees—Reimbursement authorized when—Procedures for awarding contracts.

A.

The county engineer may recommend that the board, by the adoption of a resolution or the approval of an agreement, authorize reimbursement to a subdivider, school district, special assessment district or person, either by direct payment or deferred reimbursement, for a portion of the cost of constructing sanitary sewers for public use where such sewers can or will be used by areas outside of the area for which the sewers are being installed; such authorization action shall conform with the requirements of the applicable state laws, shall include the establishment of a reimbursement district and collection rates to be applied, and shall provide that notice be published inviting sealed bids on the work proposed and that the bids be publicly opened.

B.

The procedure for the receipt of bids and the award of contract for work to be done by a special assessment district or any public agency directly controlled by state law shall be as required by the particular laws applicable; for all other projects, the county engineer shall receive and analyze the bids, and authorize the principals involved to award the contract to the lowest responsible bidder. In the event that the low bid received exceeds the engineer's estimate by more than 10 percent, the county engineer shall notify the principals involved of the increase over the estimated cost. If the principals involved and the county engineer agree, the contract may be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder, otherwise all bids shall be rejected and the proposal readvertised for new bids.
