Bidders must provide a bid guarantee of at least 5 percent of the lump sum base bid and the successful awardee must furnish 100 percent performance and payment bonds. The contract is governed by Kentucky Revised Statutes and incorporates federal requirements, including the Davis-Bacon Act, Executive Order 11246, and Buy America preferences for infrastructure projects.
