The contract term is 60 calendar days, with substantial completion required by the specified deadline or as extended by the City. Liquidated damages are assessed at $200 per calendar day for failure to achieve substantial completion, with extensions permitted only for weather-related delays. A 5 percent proposal guaranty (certified check or surety bond) must accompany all bids. Performance and Payment Bonds equal to 100 percent of the contract price are required. Commercial General Liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate, Commercial Auto Liability of $1 million, and Commercial Excess Liability of $1 million are required.
