    49-1009.  CONTRACT FOR BUILDING AND MAINTAINING ROADS. The board, the
governing board of a county, city or highway district is authorized to
contract with any individual, firm or corporation, state or federal agency or
any combination of parties, to build, rebuild or maintain or contribute
financial aid to the building, rebuilding or maintenance of any section or
sections of a highway to any standard necessary for the transportation by
private or contract trucks principally engaged in the transportation of
products originating or produced in Idaho, to permit the hauling of heavier
gross weights and wider loads than now provided by law, to an extent necessary
to accomplish that maintenance or construction. Upon application of any of the
above mentioned parties for permission to use and operate private or contract
trucks for hauling greater gross weights and wider loads than provided by law,
the board, county, city or district may make and enter into an agreement with
the applicant permitting the overload and providing for payment of an
additional financial contribution or an agreement to maintain, build or
rebuild the highway for the additional or extraordinary use, specifically
providing where necessary, for reasonable protective restrictions. If in the
opinion of the negotiating officials, a bond should be required, then a surety
bond shall be furnished. Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to require
any public agency to enter into these contracts or agreements.
