Notice inviting bids or proposals shall include a general description of the articles to be procured and shall state where bid blanks and specifications may be secured, and the time and place for opening bids, along with any other information which the purchasing agent deems appropriate. An advertisement for bids is to be published at least twice in a newspaper of general circulation, printed and published in the city and in as many additional issues and publications as the manager may determine, at least five days prior to the opening of bids. Alternatively, bids may be advertised on the city’s website or on an electronic bid solicitation website. In such case it is not necessary to advertise in the newspaper, unless the city manager determines it is in the best interest of the city. Advertising for bids relating to Class B and C road major improvement projects (greater than or equal to the amount specified by state code) shall be published according to the requirements of the state code.
