Whenever the board finds that the estimated expense of any work to be done upon any county highway is twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) or less, the board or the purchasing agent may let a contract covering both work and material, or purchase the material and let a contract for doing the work, or purchase the materials and do the work by day labor, without calling for bids.
