The Service Director, with the approval of the Finance and Service Committees of Council, shall estimate during the first month of each and every year the number of square feet of sidewalk that will be laid in the City during such year, available funds, circumstances and conditions permitting. He shall thereafter, without further authorization, advertise for bids for the laying of concrete sidewalks, in accordance with City specifications and the estimate, reserving to the City the option to order more or less as circumstances and conditions warrant. The Board of Control shall award a contract to the lowest and most responsible bidder who shall thereafter lay sidewalks required by the City during the balance of such calender year. The bid required hereunder shall provide that the price is to be based on normal grade situations. In the performance of individual jobs involving grades that require filling with or removal of earth or other materials, not including cinders and slag, the Director shall agree with the contractor for the reasonable cost of the earth removal or fill in amounts not to exceed fifty cents (50¢) per front foot of the lot and land to be benefitted; in the event the cost of earth fill or removal exceeds fifty cents (50¢) per front foot, the contractor shall perform the work only after approval of the price by the Board of Control.
