Bidders must submit the Bidder Qualification Certificate, Title VI Affidavit, Performance Bond, and Payment Bond within three business days of award, along with current insurance certificates meeting specified coverage levels. Contractors are required to comply with equal opportunity and affirmative action requirements under Title VI and RCW 39.19, including outreach to minority- and women-owned businesses, and must pass background checks for personnel accessing city-restricted sites.
