Bids exceeding $50,000 require a bid bond equal to 5% of the total bid price, with electronic submission acceptable pending hard copy submission after award, and awarded contracts exceeding $50,000 require performance and payment bonds equal to 100% of contract value. Payment terms are net 45 days following invoice submission, and the County of Accomack is tax-exempt and will not pay federal excise tax, transportation tax, or Virginia sales and use tax. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are identified in the procurement documents.
