In the absence of such agreement, the Village may perform all or any part of such improvements at the cost and expense of the subdivider. The Village in such case shall advertise for bids in the manner provided by statute and its ordinances. If the Village Board is of the opinion that such bids when received, after notice duly given, are fraudulent, collusive or greater in amount than the fair reasonable value of the work to be done or materials to be furnished, or if no bids are received, the Village Board may by resolution and by the vote of 2/3 of its members direct and determine that the bids so received shall be rejected and that the work to be done and materials to be furnished shall be performed and furnished by the Village directly and under the direction and supervision of the Village Board, but at the expense and cost of the subdivider.
