Before any contract for a bridge or piece of work, entered into by and between any successful bidder and the board of county commissioners, the total amount of which exceeds the sum of two thousand dollars, is valid, it shall first have the approval of the department. If the department finds upon examination of the contract that the contract price is too high, taking into account the material used and existing circumstances, the department shall inform the board of county commissioners of its reason for rejecting the contract and advise a method of proceeding in the matter.
