If the original bidder neglects, fails or refuses, for 25 days after the first publication of the notice of the award of the contract, to enter into the contract, the legislative body, without further proceedings, shall again advertise for and receive proposals or bids, as in the first instance, and award the contract for the work to the then lowest regular bidder.
