[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1-2, Adoption
of Code)]
All contracts for public construction in the Village of Wild Rose exceeding $25,000 shall be let by the Village Board to the lowest responsible bidder in accordance with the procedures in §
4-1-2. Notwithstanding, the procedures outlined in that section are not mandatory for the repair and reconstruction of public facilities when damage or threatened damage thereto creates an emergency, as determined by resolution of the Village Board, in which the public health or welfare of the Village is endangered. Whenever the Village Board by majority vote at a regular or special meeting declares that an emergency no longer exists, this exemption no longer applies.
The Village may, by ordinance, adopt the provisions of § 62.15
Wis. Stats., to use in lieu of, and as a complete alternative to,
the procedures described above. In such case, the authority vested
in the Board of Public Works shall, instead, be exercised by the Village
Board.
Whenever the Village Board shall, after notice duly given, have
received bids for the grading of streets, construction of sewers,
laying of pavements, sprinkling and cleaning of streets or for any
other public work or improvement, or for the furnishing of materials
therefore, and be of the opinion that such bids 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,
said 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.
