Bidders are required to submit a 5% bid bond and performance bonds covering 100% of the contract value, along with comprehensive liability insurance including $1,000,000 for commercial general liability and $1,000,000 for comprehensive automobile liability. While specific budget ranges are not detailed, the contract allows for measured quantity payments based on bid items and unit prices, with potential additional pave cuts throughout the year contingent on budgeted funding.
