   (a)    The City may participate in the payment of costs for or arising from the voluntary reconstruction, repair or replacement of sidewalks, driveway aprons and abutting improvements thereto, which are situated in the City and within the public right-of-way, by paying a portion of the costs of the sidewalk and abutting improvements in the amounts contained in this paragraph, but only if such work and such costs are first approved in writing by the City Engineer and sufficient funds therefor have been appropriated by the City. Nothing contained herein shall prohibit any person from paying all or any portion of such costs that the City might otherwise pay pursuant to this division.
      (1)    $40.00 per linear foot for curb and/or gutter.
      (2)    100% drainage structure.
      (3)    0% driveway apron.
      (4)    100% of curb and/or gutter and sidewalk within the street intersection radius.
      (5)   $3.00 per square foot of sidewalk.
   (b)    The property owner shall bear the entire cost of sidewalks that have never been constructed, except where otherwise prohibited by law; moreover, the property owner shall bear the entire costs for any extensions of sidewalks, driveway aprons, abutting improvements.
   (c)    To the extent required by law, all such participation by the City in the payment of such costs shall be in compliance with the prevailing wage laws of the State, as the same may be amended from time to time. For any project involving the reconstruction, replacement or repair of sidewalks, driveway aprons, and/or abutting improvements where the City contributes to the costs, competitive bidding is eliminated in the best interest of the City without further necessity of legislation of Council.
