  Whenever any county highway or bridge is to be constructed or any grading or repairing is to be done upon any county highway, the board of county commissioners is authorized to undertake such construction, grading, or repairing in its own behalf or to let contracts for the same. Boards of county commissioners are also authorized to make bids and to enter into contracts, where the contract price involved does not exceed one hundred thousand dollars, with the department of transportation or any agency of the federal or state government for the construction, maintenance, and repair of state or federal highways or bridges within their respective counties and to undertake and perform whatever work is necessary in connection therewith.

This manifestly makes the board of county commissioners a state agency in disbursing the “county emergency relief fund”. The general assembly has imposed new duties -- other than for county purposes proper -- upon certain county officers. This is corroborated by the provision that “all labor employed in such contracts shall be bona fide residents of the state of Colorado”. Walker v. Bedford, 93 Colo. 400 , 26 P.2d 1051 (1933).

 If any board of county commissioners desires to let out any work on the county highways by contract, it may advertise in a legal newspaper in the county or post a notice in the county courthouse, for a period of not less than ten days before the contract is let, for sealed proposals for performing the work. When a contract for work on highways involves expenditures equal to or greater than the amount at which a contract requires a contractor's bond under section 38-26-105 , C.R.S., the board of county commissioners shall advertise in a newspaper as provided in this section unless such advertisement, in the judgment of the board, would be detrimental to the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, and safety. The advertisement must describe the work to be done and its location and must refer all persons to the person holding the plans and specifications therefor. and such contract shall be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder, the board reserving the right to reject any bids proffered.
