§ 749.31.
Except where the contract is for equipment, services, materials, or supplies available
from a qualified nonprofit agency pursuant to section 125.601 of the Revised Code , the board of hospital trustees shall enter into a contract for work or supplies
where the estimated cost exceeds fifty thousand dollars with the lowest and best bidder. Where the contract is for other than the construction, demolition, alteration, repair,
or reconstruction of an improvement, the board shall enter into the contract when
the bidder gives bond to the board, with such security as the board approves, that
the bidder will perform the work and furnish materials or supplies in accordance with
the contract. On the failure of such bidder within a reasonable time, to be fixed by the board,
to enter into bond with such security, a contract may be made with the next lowest
and best bidder, and so on until a contract is effected by a contractor giving such
bond. The board may reject any bid.
