The 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 (including the incidental expenses) as shown upon the proposed Assessment Roll, unless by order of the Council the amount of such excess is to be paid from funds designated and made available for that purpose.
If no bids are received or if all bids are rejected, the Board may re-advertise for bids at any time and such delay shall in no way affect the validity of any of the proceedings or assessments levied thereunder.
