All proposals shall be accompanied with a bond in the sum of one thousand dollars, signed by the bidder and two sureties, who shall be residents and freeholders of said city and county, and who shall each justify in the above amount over and above all debts and exemptions, conditioned to pay to the Street Department Fund, the full sum of one thousand dollars as liquidated damages, if the bidder, to whom the contract is awarded, shall fail or neglect to enter into a contract as hereinafter provided. It shall be the duty of the City and County Attorney to sue on said bonds, in the name of said city and county, and to pay the amount recovered over to said fund.
The Board of Supervisors shall have power to relieve the contractor from the performance of the conditions of said bond when good cause is shown therefor. All persons (owners included) who shall fail to enter into contracts, as herein provided, or to complete the contracts entered into, are hereby prohibited from bidding a second time for the same work ; and in case of owners they are hereby prohibited from electing to take the same work a second time, and from entering into any contract concerning the same. Notice of such awards shall be published for five days. The owner of the major part of the frontage of lots and lands liable to be assessed for said work, shall not be required to present sealed proposals, but may within said five days after the first publication of notice of such award. elect to take said work, and enter into a written contract to do the whole work at the price at which the same may have been awarded. Should said owners fail to commence the work within ten days after the first publication of the notice of said award, and prosecute the same with due diligence to completion, it shall be the duty of the Superin- tendent of Public Streets and Highways to enter into a contract with the original bidder to whom the contract was awarded, and at the price the same may have been awarded him ; but if said bidder neglect, for fifteen days after the first publication of the notice of said award, to enter into contract, then the Board of Supervisors shall again publish for said five days, and pursue the steps required by this section, the same as in the first instance. If the owners who may have taken said contract do not complete the same within the time limited in the contract, or within such further time as the Board of Supervisors may give them, said Superintendent shall report such delinquency to the Board of Supervisors, who may relet the unfinished portion of said work after having pursued the formalities of this section, as stated aforesaid. All such contractors shall, at the time of the execution of the contract, also execute a bond to the satisfaction of said Superintendent, with two or more sureties, payable to the City and County of San Francisco, in such suns as the said Superintendent shall deem adequate, conditioned for the faithful perform- ance of the contract, and the sureties shall justify before any officer competent to administer an oath, in double the amount mentioned in said bond, over and above all statutory exemptions. Any person suffering damages by reason of the breach of said contract, may sue on such bond in his own name.
