If the funds necessary to complete the improvement are provided by the proper authorities of each affected state, the commission in this state may join with the court or tribunal of any other affected state and, by acting jointly or by a commission appointed by the affected states for that purpose, construct the drainage improvement. The affected states or the commission may make all necessary arrangements for the letting of a contract for the construction of the drainage improvement and may advertise for bids for the construction in accordance with the plans and specifications which shall be reported and provided by the engineers appointed to make the joint survey.
The bids shall be received and opened at a time and place designated in the notice, and the contracts shall be let in a manner designated in the notice. All or any portion of the improvement may be contracted for separately, and the contract shall contain such conditions and provisions as the respective authorities acting jointly may require. All provisions for the completion of the improvement, the supervision of the work, and the payment for the work may be provided for by joint arrangement between the representatives of the several states.
The authorities of each state, however, are responsible only for the sums arranged to be furnished by assessment or otherwise within the limits of the state.
