Upon contract award, the selected contractor must provide payment bonds and comprehensive insurance coverage, and if the contractor refuses to execute the contract forms within the required timeframe, the contractor will be liable for actual damages to Caltrans or 10 percent of the bid amount, whichever is less.

This procurement is exclusively available to certified Small Businesses under section 2-1.05, and bidders must maintain Small Business certification at bid opening and contract award.
