If the board confirms the drawings, specifications, and cost estimates, the board shall let contracts or otherwise construct the works of improvement provided in the drawings, specifications, and cost estimates. The board may not let a contract for an amount that exceeds the cost estimate. However, if all bids are greater than the cost estimate, the board may let a contract for an amount that does not exceed five percent (5%) over the cost estimate if the cost of rebidding, rising cost level, or other good reason necessitates this course of action.
