 (from Ch. 34, par. 5-32038)Sec. 5-32038.         Rejection of bids; failure of bidder to enter into  contract. The Committee may reject any and all proposals or bids, should  they deem it best for the public good. If the Committee is of the opinion  that a combination exists between contractors, either to limit the number  of bidders, or to increase the contract price, and that the lowest bid is  made in pursuance thereof, the Committee shall reject all proposals or  bids. The Committee may reject the bid of any party who has been delinquent  or unfaithful in any former contract with the county. It shall reject all  proposals or bids other than the lowest regular proposals or bids of any  responsible bidder and may award the contract for the specified work or  improvement to the lowest responsible bidder at the prices named in this  bid. Such an award shall be recorded in the records of its proceedings.  Such an award, if any, shall be made within 20 days after the time fixed  for receiving bids.If no award is made within that time, another advertisement for  proposals or bids for the performance of the work, as in the first  instance, shall be made, and thereafter the Committee shall proceed in the  manner above provided in this Division. Such a re-advertisement  shall be deemed a rejection of all former bids, and thereupon the  respective checks and bonds corresponding to the bids so rejected shall be  returned to the proper parties. However, the check accompanying any  accepted proposal or bid shall be retained in the possession of the  Committee until the contract for doing the work, as hereinafter provided,  has been entered into by the lowest responsible bidder, whereupon the  certified check shall be returned to the bidder. But if that bidder fails,  neglects, or refuses to enter into a contract to perform that work or  improvement, as provided in this Division, the certified check  accompanying his bid and the amount therein mentioned shall be declared to  be forfeited to the county, and shall be collected by it and paid into its  fund for the repairing and maintenance of like improvements. Any bond  forfeited may be prosecuted, and the amount due thereon collected and paid  into the same fund.    (Source: P.A. 86-962.)

If the contractors, who may have taken any  contract, do not complete the work within the time mentioned in the  contract, or within such further time as the Committee may give them, the  Committee may relet the unfinished portions of that work, after pursuing  the formalities prescribed hereinbefore for the letting of the whole in the  first instance.All contractors at the time of executing any contract for such public  work, shall execute a bond to the satisfaction and approval of the  Committee of the county in such a sum as the Committee deems adequate,  conditioned for the faithful performance of the contract.

 (from Ch. 34, par. 5-32043)Sec. 5-32043.         Certification of costs; excess of assessment over  costs.  Within 30 days after the final completion of the work, the Committee  shall have the costs thereof, including the cost of engineering services  certified in writing to the court in which the assessment was confirmed,  together with an amount as in this Division is provided for to  be required to pay the accruing interest on bonds or vouchers issued to  anticipate collection. Thereupon, if the total amount assessed for the  improvement exceeds the cost of the improvement, all of that excess, except  the amount required to pay such interest as is provided in this  Division shall be abated and the judgment reduced  proportionately, so that the property owners shall be credited pro rata  upon the respective assessment for the improvement under the direction of the court.In case the assessment is collectible in the installments, this  reduction shall be made so that all installments shall be equal in amount,  except that all fractional amounts shall be added to the first installment  so as to leave the remaining installments in the aggregate equal in amount  and each a multiple of $100. If prior to the entry of the order abating and  reducing the assessment, the assessment has been certified for collection  and any of the installments of the assessment so certified for collection  have become due and payable, the reduction and abatement above referred to  shall be made pro rata upon the other installments. The intent and meaning  of this is that no property owner shall be required to pay to the collector  a greater amount than his proportionate share of the cost of the work and  of the interest that may accrue thereon.

Where the ordinance for the  improvement provides for the collection of all costs, collections made on  the first installment shall be used first to pay such costs and any surplus  shall be used to pay bonds and interest as provided herein.

The county,  nevertheless, shall not be in any way liable to the holders of these  vouchers or bonds in case of a failure to collect the assessment, but with  all reasonable diligence, so far as it can legally do so, it shall cause a  valid special assessment to be levied and collected to pay these bonds and  vouchers, until all bonds and vouchers are fully paid.
