§ 5549.21.
The board of township trustees may purchase or lease such machinery and tools as are
necessary for use in constructing, reconstructing, maintaining, and repairing roads
and culverts within the township, and shall provide suitable places for housing and
storing machinery and tools owned by the township. It may purchase such material and employ such labor as is necessary for carrying
into effect this section, or it may authorize the purchase or employment of such material
and labor by one of its number, or by the township highway superintendent, at a price
to be fixed by the board. All payments on account of machinery, tools, material, and labor shall be made from
the township road fund or the township's general fund. Except as otherwise provided in sections 505.08 , 505.101 , and 5513.01 of the Revised Code , all purchases of materials, machinery, and tools shall, if the amount involved exceeds
the amount specified in section 9.17 of the Revised Code , be made from the lowest responsible bidder after advertisement, as provided in section 5575.01 of the Revised Code . If, in compliance with section 505.10 of the Revised Code , the board wishes to sell machinery, equipment, or tools owned by the township to
the person from whom it is to purchase other machinery, equipment, or tools, the board
may offer, if the amount of the purchase alone involved does not exceed the amount
specified in section 9.17 of the Revised Code , to sell such machinery, equipment, or tools and have the amount credited by the
vendor against the purchase of the other machinery, equipment, or tools. If the purchase price of the other machinery, equipment, or tools alone exceeds
the amount specified in section 9.17 of the Revised Code , the board may give notice to the competitive bidders of its willingness to accept
offers for the purchase of the old machinery, equipment, or tools, and those offers
shall be subtracted from the selling price of the other machinery, equipment, or tools
as bid, in determining the lowest responsible bidder. Notice of the willingness of the board to accept offers for the purchase of the
old machinery, equipment, or tools shall be made as a part of the advertisement for
bids.
