The Service Director, with the approval of Council, shall estimate, during the fourth month of every year, the number of square feet of sidewalk that will be laid in the Village during such year, if available funds, circumstances and conditions permit. He or she shall thereafter, without further authorization, advertise for bids for the laying of concrete sidewalks, in accordance with Village specifications and the estimate, reserving to the Village the option to order more or less as circumstances and conditions warrant. Council shall award a contract to the lowest and most responsible bidder, who shall thereafter lay sidewalks required by the Village during the balance of such calendar year. Such bid shall provide that the price is to be based on normal grade situations. In the performance of individual jobs involving grades that require filling with or removal of earth or other materials, not including cinders and slag, the Service Director shall reach an agreement with the contractor for the reasonable cost of the earth removal or fill.
