Department of Highways that such work is to be done. The Department of
Highways shall then furnish to the county road engineer plans, specifications and
estimates of cost, which he shall submit to the fiscal court. The county road
engineer shall keep in his records the plans, specifications and estimates of cost
furnished by the Department of Highways, and also the plans, specifications and
estimates of cost and the actual cost of the repair or construction work which is
actually done. The fiscal court shall not be required to accept the plans,
specifications and estimates furnished by the Department of Highways. (2) This same plan shall be followed in making the purchase of all county road machinery, when the amount of the purchase is five hundred dollars ($500) or more.

send an assistant engineer to assist in laying out the road, and in drawing plans and
specifications and making up estimates of cost for the road. This shall be done at the
expense of the state. The fiscal court shall not be compelled to accept the plans and
specifications of the engineer furnished by the Department of Highways, but a
record of them shall be kept. After contracts are awarded, the estimates furnished by
