A bid bond equal to 5% of the total bid amount is required, with a scanned copy submitted online and the original submitted to the engineer within 48 hours of bid opening. The successful bidder must furnish performance, maintenance, and statutory bonds, each equal to 100% of the contract sum.

Contract price is based on unit prices for listed work items, with asphalt pricing subject to monthly adjustment using the Kansas Department of Transportation Asphalt Material Index. All applicable sales and use taxes on materials and equipment are exempt under Kansas law (KSA 79-3606). The City reserves the right to reject any or all bids, holds bids for up to 60 days for evaluation, and may conduct investigations into bidder qualifications, experience, and financial ability.
