Bid security equal to 10 percent of the total bid amount is required, and successful bidders must furnish performance and payment bonds each equal to 100 percent of the contract price. Retainage is set at 5.0 percent of progress payments, which may be held as cash or replaced with a surety bond meeting Oregon requirements. Liquidated damages apply for contract time overruns at 15 percent of the contractor's bid amount divided by total calendar days, with additional penalties of $500 per 15 minutes per lane for traffic control violations and $500 per 20 minutes for traffic delays exceeding 20 minutes. The project is not federally funded, and no asphalt cement cost adjustment or steel material price escalation shall apply.
