Final report—Bid procedure

When the final report is filed with the council and by resolution approved and adopted by the council, the director of finance shall call for bids for the improvements to be constructed. The call for bids shall be advertised as provided by law. The director of finance may call for bids and let the work, either as an entire contract or, in his discretion, as one or more separate contracts for the different kinds of work to be performed of for the different improvements or parts thereof to be constructed under one proceeding, consistent with chapter 103 of the Hawaiʻi Revised Statutes. If bids are to be called for two or more separate contracts, the bids for different contracts may be called for, and the work let, at different times. All bids must be accompanied by a certified check, or its equivalent, payable to the county, for not less than 5 percent of the amount of the bid, which check, or its equivalent, shall be forfeited to the county unless the successful bidder signs the contract and furnishes an approved bond within the time specified in the specifications.
