The City Council in its Ordinance of Intention or in the final ordinance ordering the work to be done may direct the Board of Public Works to let a contract for the making of said improvements. Such contract shall be let to the lowest regular responsible bidder, provided, however, that the Board shall not award any such contract for an amount in excess of one-tenth above the total estimated cost of the improvement (exclusive of incidental expenses) as shown upon the proposed Assessment Roll required by Section 6.22 hereof, unless by order of the Council the amount of such excess is to be paid from funds designated and made available for such purpose.
If no bids are received or if any bids are rejected, the Board may re-advertise for bids at any time or recommend in writing to the City Council that the work and improvements be done by the City as provided in Sections 6.20(b) and 6.29 thereof. As an alternative method of procedure for the making of said improvement, if the City Council after considering said recommendations, deems that the public interest, convenience and necessity so require, it shall direct the Board to proceed with the work or improvement pursuant to Sections 6.20(b) and 6.29 hereof.
