Upon receiving the estimate of cost, the court, if satisfied with the correctness of same and the necessity and importance of such improvement, may advertise for and receive proposals and make such other orders in the premises from time to time as shall be necessary and proper.
(b) Whenever the construction, reconstruction or repair of a state toll bridge necessitates the painting thereof, such application shall be conducted by workers, whether state employee or contractor, who have successfully completed the SSPC Coating Application Specialist (CAS) Program.
(a) At or before the time any such bridge shall be acquired by purchase the state road commissioner, he or she shall determine what repairs, replacements, additions or betterments will be necessary to place the bridge in safe and efficient condition for the use of the public, and to cause an estimate of the cost of such improvement to be made and submitted to the commissioner by an engineer or engineers appointed by the commissioner. Such improvements shall be ordered by the commissioner before the sale of any bridge revenue bonds hereinafter authorized for the purchase of the bridge, and shall be paid for out of the proceeds of such bonds.
