1. A Certified check, cashier’s check, or letter of credit equal to ten (10) percent of the bid. A letter of credit may only be revocable by
the Owner. Upon entering into a contract with the Owner, the contractor must file a performance bond for the amount of the contract, and
the bid guaranty will then be returned to the successful and unsuccessful bidders upon contract execution.
OR
2. A form of bid guaranty bond (attached) for the full amount of the bid. Such bond is retained for the successful bidder but returned to
unsuccessful bidders after the contract is executed.
