§28-5-12. Bids for convict labor -- Specifications; labor rate; separate bids.

Each bid for such convict labor shall specify the articles proposed to be manufactured, the number of square feet of shop room which will be required, and, if steam power is required, the amount of power and the price per day the bidder is willing to pay therefor, and shall be unconditional. The piece price per article manufactured or the price per day of each convict shall be specified, and if a different price per day is stated for different periods, each period and price shall be stated, that one may be accepted and the other rejected. Each bidder may separately state in his bid what he will pay for the labor bid for, with or without the exclusive right to manufacture the articles mentioned. If the person bidding desires to manufacture different classes of articles, the labor to be employed on each class shall be bid for separately.
