(b) When the project involves the rental of equipment with an operator furnished by the owner, or the installation or application of materials by the supplier of the materials, the project is considered to
be a public work project and subject to this chapter. However, an
annual contract may be awarded for equipment rental and materials to
be installed or applied during a calendar or fiscal year if the proposed
project or projects are described in the bid specifications.
(c) A board of aviation commissioners or an airport authority board
may purchase or lease materials in the manner provided in IC 5-22 and
perform any public work by means of its own workforce and owned or
leased equipment, in the construction, maintenance, and repair of any
airport roadway, runway, taxiway, or aircraft parking apron whenever
the cost of that public work project is estimated to be less than fifty
thousand dollars ($50,000).

means of its own workforce and owned or leased equipment.

or a facility under the control of a department (as defined in
