"An act to revise, consolidate, and add to the laws relating to the

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:

 

CHAPTER IV

 

     Sec. 19c. (1) Notwithstanding any provision of law to the

 

contrary, if a township contributes 50% or more to the cost of a

 

road project, the township board, by resolution, may require that

 

the county road commission contract for the work on that road

 

project through competitive bidding. A county road commission is

 

not prohibited from submitting a competitive bid under this

 

section.

 

     (2) If a township board requires a county road commission to

 

contract for work on a road project through competitive bidding as

 

permitted under subsection (1), the county road commission shall

 

submit both the competitive bid process to be used and the final

 

contract for that road project to the township board for approval.

 

Before the county road commission submits the final contract for

 

the road project to the township board for approval, the county

 

road commission shall submit to the township board a copy of each

 

competitive bid received by the county road commission for that

 

road project.
