245.150. The board of supervisors of said district shall have full power

and authority to build, construct, excavate and complete all or any works and

improvements which may be needed to carry out, maintain and protect the plan

for reclamation. To accomplish that end the said board of supervisors is

hereby authorized and empowered to employ men and teams and to purchase

machinery, employ men to operate same and directly have charge of and

construct the works and improvements, or by the use of other or more

efficient means than provided for in the plans adopted. They may, in their

discretion, let the contract for such works and improvements either as a

whole or in sections, and when such contract or contracts are let, they shall

be advertised and let to the lowest and best bidder, who shall give a good

and approved bond, with ample security, conditioned that he will well and

promptly carry out the contract for such work and improvements, which

contract shall be in writing and to which shall be attached and made a part

thereof, complete plans and specifications of the work to be done and the

improvements to be made under said contract, which plans and specifications

shall be prepared by the chief engineer, and shall be incorporated in and

attached to the contract, which contract shall be prepared by the attorney

for the district, and before the work is commenced shall be approved by the

board of supervisors and signed by the president of the board and the

contractor and shall be executed in duplicate. The chief engineer shall be

the superintendent of all the works and improvements and shall whenever

required, and at least once each year, make a full report to said board of all

work done and improvements made and make such suggestions and recommendations

to the board as he may deem proper; provided, however, that if and when the

state of Missouri or the United States of America or any subdivision,

department, division or agency thereof is willing to construct the works and

improvements provided for in the plan for reclamation or any part thereof, the

board of supervisors of said district is authorized to cooperate with such

agency to the fullest extent and is hereby granted power and authority to

accept any such work in aid of the project, irrespective of whether it be by

way of grant of funds, labor, work, materials or otherwise and may, in the

discretion of the board of supervisors, give such assurances as may be

required to obtain the construction of the works and improvements provided for

in the plan for reclamation.
