Bid bonds equal to 5% of the total bid are required, along with performance and labor and material payment bonds for 100% of the bid amount.

All contractors and subcontractors must complete annual registration with Michigan's Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity (LEO) and provide proof of registration to the District. Pay applications must comply with AIA documents.
