Okla. Stat. tit. 19, § 19-880: Subdistrict sewers - Petition - Profiles, plans and

specifications - Contracts.

Whenever such district sewer or sewers shall have been

authorized, the said board of directors shall then proceed to employ

a registered professional engineer licensed in the State of

Oklahoma, and cause to be prepared profiles, plans and

specifications for the work, together with a complete estimate of

the cost. Upon the completion of such plans and specifications and

their adoption by the said board of directors, they shall advertise

for sealed bids for the performance of such work for at least ten

(10) days, if published in a daily newspaper, or at least two (2)

successive weeks if published in a weekly newspaper. In either

case, such newspaper must be one of general circulation within the

district and such notice may contain any reasonable conditions to be

imposed by said board of directors with reference to the letting of

such contracts and shall require the giving of a good and sufficient

bond for the faithful execution of work and the performance of the

contract and for the protection of the district and all property

owners against any loss or damage by the negligent execution of such

work. Such notice shall also advise all parties interested that

they may appear and protest against such proposed improvement or any

part thereof. At the time and place specified in the notice the

board of directors shall award the contract to the lowest and best

bidder for the work, which contract shall in no case exceed the

aggregate estimate of cost submitted with the plans and

specifications and shall be subject to the right of the board of

directors to reject any and all bids and to readvertise for other

bids, when none of the same is, in their judgment, satisfactory.
