The Supervisors, if they do not deny such appeal, may by resolution delay further proceedings in relation to the proposed work for not more than one year from the date of the adoption of such resolution. Upon petition of the appellants the Supervisors may continue with the proceedings from time to time during said period of delay.
Upon expiration of the period of delay so fixed by the Supervisors, said Director may again recommend to the Supervisors that the proposed work be done and the proposed district be confirmed, and thereupon the Supervisors, after notice to the appellants as provided for in Section 196 of this Article, shall order the work to be done and the boundaries of the proposed district confirmed or may declare an abandonment of all proceedings theretofore had in the manner.
The ordering of any proposed work and confirmation of any proposed district shall be by ordinance.
Said Director, at any stage of the proceedings for any proposed work, prior to action by the Supervisors upon his recommendation that they order the same done, may by order abandon any or all proceedings theretofore had in relation to such proposed work; and said Director may commence said proceedings anew and continue the same from any part of said proceedings not so abandoned. If said Director abandons any or all proceedings after his making an order of recommendation and before action thereon by the Supervisors, he shall cause notice of such fact forthwith to be transmitted to the Supervisors, and the Supervisors shall take no action upon the recommendation in such case.
If the Supervisors pass an ordinance ordering any proposed work pursuant to this Article, they may upon recommendation of said Director repeal such ordinance ordering work.
Said Director, from time to time after he has abandoned any proceedings for any proposed work pursuant to this Article, may institute and continue proceedings hereunder for the work theretofore proposed and abandoned, or for such work or modified work as he may determine the public interest or convenience requires, all in accordance with the procedure prescribed in this Article.
The ordinance ordering the work to be done and approving the assessment district shall contain a description of the assessment district similar to that contained in said order of said Director declaring his intention. In all other ordinances, resolutions, notices, orders and determinations, subsequent to said order of said Director declaring his intention and subsequent to the notices of hearing thereon, except the notices of recordation in the Department of Public Works of the assessment hereinafter provided for, it shall not be necessary to describe the assessment district, but it shall be sufficient to refer to said order of said Director declaring his intention for a description of the work and a description of the assessment district.
After the Supervisors, pursuant hereto, have passed an ordinance ordering work to be done, said Director shall cause specifications, or plans and specifications be prepared for the proposed work, as shown on the exhibit plan or plans.
(Added by Ord. 321-69, App. 11/10/69)
After the specifications, or plans and specifications have been prepared, said Director shall cause a notice to be published for two consecutive days in the official newspaper and posted conspicuously in his office for a period of not less than 10 days, inviting sealed proposals for the contemplated work.
(a) Time and Place for Receiving Bids. Said notice shall invite sealed proposals for the contemplated work to be delivered to said Director at his office, or at a place to be designated by him in said notice, on a day and during an hour to be specified therein, which shall be not less than 10 days after the date of last publication of said notice as hereinabove provided and after the first day of said posting of said notice. Said notice shall contain a description of the proposed work substantially similar to that contained in the order of said Director declaring his intention to recommend that the Supervisors order the same to be done. Said notice shall also contain a reservation of the right to reject any and all bids, and shall specify the period of time within which the work is to be completed after the date of execution of the contract therefor and the amount of the bond to be given by the awardee of the contract for faithful performance, public liability, and property damage of the same.
Reference to the specifications, or plans and specifications for the proposed work shall also be incorporated in and notice for further information concerning the details of the proposed work.
(Amended by Ord. 321-69, App. 11/10/69)
All proposals shall be made upon printed forms to be prepared by said Director and furnished gratuitously upon application.
Every proposal made shall be accompanied by a corporate surety bond or a check certified by a responsible bank, payable to the order of said City and County for an amount not less than 10 per centum of the aggregate of the proposal, and no proposal shall be considered unless accompanied by such bond or check.
No person, firm or corporation shall make, file or be interested in more than one bid for the same improvement. If on the opening of bids more than one bid appears in which the same person, firm or corporation is interested, all said last mentioned bids shall be rejected.
On the day and during the hour specified in said notice inviting sealed proposals, said Director shall be in his office, or in the place designated by him in said notice, and all bids shall be delivered to him within the hour named in said notice. No bid not so delivered to him shall be considered. Each bid as it shall be received shall be numbered and marked "Filed" by said Director and authenticated by his signature. At the expiration of the hour stated in said notice, said Director shall publicly open, examine and declare the same and an abstract of each bid shall be recorded in a public register to be kept by said Director for such purpose. Said Director shall immediately compare the bids with the record so made, and shall thereupon or at such other time not exceeding 20 days thereafter award the contract for the work to the lowest reliable and responsible bidder, except as otherwise herein provided. Notice of such award shall be caused to be posted for five days by said Director in some conspicuous place in the office of the Department of Public Works and such notice shall be published once in the official newspaper. Said Director may reject any and all bids and may reject the bid of any bidder who has been delinquent or unfaithful in any former contract with said City and County and must reject all bids other than the bid of the lowest reliable and responsible bidder; and, on accepting said lowest bid, he shall thereupon return to the proper parties the bonds or checks corresponding to the bids so rejected. If all the bids are rejected said Director shall return all the bonds or checks to the proper parties and may again invite sealed proposals for the proposed work as in the first instance.
The bond or check accompanying the accepted bid shall be held by said Director until the contract for doing said work as hereinafter provided has been entered into, either by said lowest bidder, or by owners as hereinafter provided, whereupon said corporate surety bond or certified check shall be returned to said bidder. If said bidder fails, neglects or refuses to enter into a contract to perform the work as in this ordinance hereinafter provided then the corporate surety bond or certified check accompanying his bid and the amount therein mentioned shall be declared by order of said Director to be forfeited to said City and County, and the proceeds thereof shall be collected by the Treasurer and paid into the treasury of said City and County and credited to the item or items of the annual appropriation for the improvement of streets and sewers, unless said Director, or the Supervisors on appeal, duly remit such forfeiture.
