Art. 7858. JOINT ACTION.  When improvements are constructed 
by two or more districts, bids may be jointly called for and opened 
and considered at the designated office of either district, and the 
directors of such districts shall approve the letting of the 
contract and contractor's bond, and may meet and transact all 
business for that or any other purpose concerning such project at a 
place outside the district, or at any office established for such 
joint project.  All bids, bonds, contracts, etc., of said project 
shall be in the name of said districts, which are empowered to do 
all acts by joint action that one district may do, the action of 
each district being determined by its directors.  A general

for such project, whose duties may be set forth in the joint
