(A) An authorized city official may supervise construction or repair of sidewalks within the city. He or she may cause specifications to be prepared for the construction of the various kinds of pavements and transmit the specifications to the legislative body for approval. When the specifications are approved, the legislative body shall advertise for proposals to do all the work which may be ordered by the city in construction and repair of sidewalks, and shall authorize the Mayor to contract therefor, for a period not exceeding one year, with the lowest responsible bidder, who shall furnish good and sufficient sureties for the faithful performance of the work. The Mayor, if authorized by City Council, may make separate contracts for the different kinds of work with different parties.
(B) The construction and reconstruction of the sidewalks and curbings may be made at the exclusive cost of the owner of the lots, parts of lots or land fronting, abutting or bordering upon the area to be improved, if the City Council determines that it is desirable. The costs of construction or reconstruction shall be assessed upon the lots, parts of lots or land fronting, abutting or bordering upon the area to be improved in proportion to the frontage owned along the area to be improved and in accordance with the procedures set forth in §§ 33.20 through 33.28 of this code.
