31-14-23. Purchase of twelve months' supply of materials--Estimate by county highway superintendent--Specifications. If it is deemed advisable by the board of county commissioners, the board may purchase such materials as cement, sand, stone, metal, culverts, reinforcement steel, or other material to be used in the construction of roads, bridges, and culverts, in quantities sufficient to meet the estimated demand of the county for such materials for the next succeeding twelve months. Before purchasing any such materials, however, the board of county commissioners shall first have an estimate prepared by the county highway superintendent setting forth the needs of the county during the twelve months. The county highway superintendent shall prepare specifications of the quality of all materials, such specifications to be approved by the department. No patented material may be specified to the exclusion of unpatented material.
