(a) The City, in contracting for the erection, repair, alteration or rebuilding of a public building, institution, bridge, culvert or improvement, where State law or the City Charter requires that the City advertise and receive proposals for furnishing of materials and doing the necessary work, shall not be required to provide that separate and distinct proposals be made for furnishing such materials or doing such work, or both, or for each separate and distinct trade or kind of mechanical labor, employment or business entering into the contract for such improvement, irrespective of the cost of such project.
(b) Contracts may be awarded for the entire work regardless of the provisions of Ohio R.C. 153.50, 153.51 and 153.52, provided that the basis for awarding such a contract shall comply with the Charter and the ordinances of the City.
(c) Separate contracts for separate bids may be awarded by the City. However, no contract for doing the work shall be required to be let to any separate trade or kind of mechanical labor, or to any business, or for the furnishing of materials or labor, except in the discretion of Council.
