The state transportation commission may construct, reconstruct or maintain any flight strips, any airport or access road by work done with its own forces. In all other cases, it is the duty of the secretary to let the work on contract, after taking bids therefor, subject to the approval of the state transportation commission. The taking of bids therefor shall be in accordance with such rules as may be adopted by the commission. The secretary may reject any or all bids if they are unbalanced or for any other good cause, but otherwise he shall award the contract to the lowest responsible bidder. The successful bidder shall be required to furnish satisfactory bond in such amount as may be determined by the state transportation commission pledged to the faithful performance by the bidder of the terms of his contract.
