Bid security equal to 5 percent of the total bid amount is required. Performance and payment bonds are required per GDOT Section 103.05. The contract time is 913 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed. Progress payments will be made monthly at 100 percent of completed work with no retainage prior to Substantial Completion; after Substantial Completion, payment adjusts to 100 percent less 200 percent of the Engineer's estimate of remaining punch list items.
