(a) Contracts, how let. All public construction, the estimated cost of which exceeds $10,000, shall be let by contract to the lowest responsible bidder; all other public construction shall be let as the Village Board may direct. If the estimated cost of any public construction exceeds $5,000, but is not greater than $10,000, the Director of Public Works shall give a Class 1 notice, under Wis. Stats. Ch. 985, of the proposed construction before the contract for the construction is executed. The Village Board may also, by a vote of three-fourths of all the members-elect provide, by ordinance, that any class of public construction or any part thereof may be done directly by the village without submitting the same for bids.
(b) Construction by the village. Any class of public construction may be done directly by the village without submitting the same for bids provided that the same is authorized by a vote of three-fourths of all members of the Village Board.
