Before the village shall construct any new sidewalks, the Chairperson and Board of Trustees shall cause an estimate to be made by such village employee as is designated by the Board of Trustees, who shall act as Village Engineer for that purpose, of the cost of materials and labor necessary to construct the same and shall cause notice to be published or posted for three weeks, asking for bids for the work, which bids shall be filed with the Village Clerk and acted upon by the Chairperson and Board of Trustees at a regular meeting. No bid shall be accepted or contract ordered for the construction of any sidewalk for more than the estimate aforesaid. All proceedings contemplated under this section shall be made a matter of record by the Village Clerk.
