Contractors must be qualified under Palm Beach County's Annual Contract–Electrical Services and submit qualification applications at least ten days prior to the bid due date.

Bids of $200,000 or more require bid security of at least 5% of the bid price in the form of certified check, cashier's check, money order, or bid bond. The successful bidder must provide a Public Construction Bond equal to 100% of the Work Order amount prior to execution. Liquidated damages of $120 per day apply for failure to achieve substantial completion within the contract timeframe. All bidders must submit completed SBD Program schedules, including a List of All Proposed Subcontractors and Letters of Intent to Perform.
