All bids or proposals shall be publicly opened   by the governing body or its duly authorized agent. If the bidder  whose   bid  or proposal has been accepted shall neglect or refuse to accept the   contract within five days after written notice  that  the  contract  has   been  awarded  to him on his bid or proposal, or, if he accepts but does   not execute the contract and give proper security, the agency shall have   the right to declare his security forfeited. In case any work  shall  be   abandoned  by  any contractor, the agency may, if it determines that the   public interest is thereby served, adopt on behalf of the agency any  or   all  subcontracts  made  by  such  contractor for such work and all such   subcontractors shall be bound by  such  adoption  if  made.  No  bid  or   proposal  shall  be accepted from or any contract awarded to, any person   or corporation which is in arrears to the agency or the  town  upon  any   obligation  of  the  agency  or of the town. Every contract involving an   expenditure of more than five thousand dollars  when  made  and  entered   into  as herein provided for shall be executed in duplicate, one copy of   which shall be held by the  agency  and  one  copy  of  which  shall  be   delivered  to  the contractor.
