Contractors must complete an Affirmation and Disclosure Form that requires transparency about business locations, service performance sites, and data storage locations.

Bidders must comply with the State of Ohio's Standard Terms and Conditions, which include specific insurance requirements such as Commercial General Liability insurance of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence, Automobile Liability coverage of $1,000,000, and Workers' Compensation insurance.
