It is understood and agreed that the date on which calendar days will begin to be charged to the project shall be either (1) the 10 calendar day from the date of issuance of the initial notice to begin work or (2) the date on which the Contractor actually begins work, whichever date is earlier.

The Bidder further agrees to bear the full cost of maintaining all work until final acceptance, as provided in the contract.

If the total amount of this bid exceeds $100,000 a bid guaranty of five percent (5%) of the bid, payable to the Owner, must accompany this proposal. The said guaranty is to be returned to the Bidder upon delivery of a satisfactory bond. Owner officials and employees are prohibited by law from soliciting and accepting funds or gifts from any person who has, maintains, or seeks business relations with the Owner pursuant to Section 334.195, Florida Statutes.
