31-6-4. Federal approval of project--Call for bids by department--Contract not let until payment provided by county. In case any secondary road project is approved by the Federal Highway Administration, the department may call for bids and let a contract for the work in the same manner as now provided for federal aid projects. However, no contract may be let until the county having jurisdiction of the highway has fully and legally provided for the payment of any project costs over and above those costs covered by the federal-aid secondary funds available to the county plus the state highway fund matching those federal-aid secondary funds. However, no such contract may be let until the political subdivision under whose jurisdiction the highway upon which the project is to be constructed has entered into a binding agreement to maintain the project when completed at the subdivision's own cost and expense in such manner as may be agreeable to the federal highway administration and the department.
