The county has established a 10% participation goal for minority business enterprises in this construction contract, indicating a commitment to diverse vendor participation. Performance and payment bonds are required at 100% of the contract price, with a payment structure that includes monthly payments of 95% of completed work and a 5% retainage (reducible to 2.5% after 50% project completion). The contract includes provisions for potential non-appropriation of funds and requires strict compliance with local, state, and federal laws, including non-discrimination policies.
