public works or improvements which are not be paid for in whole or in part by
special assessment or special taxation when the expense thereof exceeds ten
thousand dollars ($10,000.00), and, except as provided below, all purchase
orders or contracts for labor, materials, equipment or supplies involving
amounts in excess of ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00) made by or on behalf
of the Village shall be awarded to the lowest qualified bidder pursuant to due
advertisement for sealed bids in a newspaper published and having a general
circulation within the Village (which advertisement shall state that such contract
shall be let to the lowest responsible bidder, that the right is reserved in the
Village Board to reject all bids or waive bid technicalities and the place, time
and date when sealed bids shall be opened; said date being not less than 7
days after publication of the advertisement), after the successful bid proposal
has been submitted to the Village Board for approval.
1. Should any purchase be of any amount in excess of that provided in the
annual budget or should the low bidder for a contract let through
competitive bidding fail to be the lowest responsible bidder, the Village
Manager shall advise the Village Board of Trustees as to whether or not
the contract offered is desirable or which of several contracts offered is
most desirable for the Village.
2. In case of accidents or other circumstances creating an emergency, the
Village Manager may award contracts, acquire services and make
purchases for the purpose of repairing damages caused by the said
accident or meeting said public emergency; but he shall file promptly
within fourteen (14) days with the Village Board a report showing such
emergency and the necessity of such action, together with an itemized
account of all expenditures.
3. Nothing herein shall limit or prevent the Board of Trustees, upon its
extraordinary vote as set forth in subsection 2.201.0.5 of this Code, from
waiving the requirement of advertising for bids with respect to contracts
for services of individuals possessing a high degree of professional skill
where the ability of fitness of the individual plays an important part, or
contracts for the purchase of materials, supplies and equipment or any
work or other public improvement which in the opinion of said Trustees,
there is a sole supplier, or a need for standardization of existing
equipment, or the bidding procedure is impractical due to the nature of
the equipment or work, the difficulty of developing specifications, or when
time is of the essence.
