for day labor for construction work an amount not

such bonds, penalties and conditions as the Commission
may require, all of which shall be enforced in any court
having jurisdiction. [[THE COMMISSION MAY AUTHORIZE
SMALL FACILITIES CONSTRUCTION WORK WITHOUT ADVERTISING OR
RECEIVING BIDS IF THE WORK CAN BE DONE WITH PRESENT
EMPLOYEES, AND WITHOUT HIRING ADDITIONAL EMPLOYEES.]]
