   (b)   A notice required to be published in a newspaper shall contain a general description of the project, the date of bid opening, and instructions for obtaining bid packets or additional information. The notice published in a newspaper or on Village’s website or on a state public notice website is not required to contain all terms and conditions under which bids will be received or all terms and specifications of the project so long as the notice informs prospective bidders of how such information may be obtained from the Village.
   (c)   The bids shall be opened and shall be publicly read by the Village Manager or a person designated by the Village Manager at the time, date, and place specified in the advertisement to bidders or specifications. The time, date, and place of bid openings may be extended to a later date by Council of the Village, provided that written or oral notice of the change shall be given to all persons who have received or requested specifications no later than ninety-six hours prior to the original time and date fixed for the opening.
