Performance bonds and payment bonds, each equal to 100 percent of the contract sum, are required. Prevailing wage rates apply under Benton County, Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries requirements. Equity contracting requirements mandate good faith efforts in subcontracting with minority, women, emerging small business, and service-disabled veteran-owned business enterprises. Background checks, including criminal background and sex offender registration checks, are required for all contractor employees and agents prior to work and through 24 months after completion. The contractor must comply with all permit requirements and environmental conditions, including erosion control, sediment control, and site restoration.
