Key requirements include providing 48-hour written notice to adjacent residents and utilizing certified concrete flatwork technicians for specific finishing work. Bidders must maintain a performance rating of 85% or higher, though those below this threshold may bid by executing an Agreement to Accept Retainage. The award is based on a comparison of unit prices. Required submission documents include a Delaware Business License, a drug testing affidavit, and a bid bond equal to 10% of the bid amount. Payments are issued monthly based on accepted work, following a schedule of 45% for the first estimate, 45% for the second, and 10% for the final estimate. Final acceptance is contingent upon a multi-stage inspection process involving primary and acceptance punch lists, with quality evaluated through AASHTO or DelDOT procedures.
