On all projects for the construction or reconstruction of a bridge which will cost more than Twenty-five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00), or for the construction or reconstruction of roads which will cost more than Twenty-five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00) per mile, the employment of an engineer qualified under the chapter on engineers shall be obligatory, whether the work is to be done by contract or otherwise; however, in obligatory cases the employment may be for the particular work rather than for a term.
