I Bid Bond. A bid bond is required for all jobs. A bid guarantee in an amount not less than five percent (5%) of the total bid price must be submitted in the form of a firm commitment, such as a bid bond, bank money order, certified check or cashier's check. Checks or money orders j should be made payable to the Treasurer, State of Colorado. If a bid bond is submitted, the State form shall be used. An irrevocable letter of credit is not acceptable as a bid guarantee. Bid guarantees, other than bid bonds, will be returned (a) to unsuccessful bidders as soon as practicable after the opening of bids, and (b) to the successful bidder upon execution of such further contractual documents and bonds (including any necessary coinsurance or reinsurance agreements) as may be required by the bid as accepted. Failure to furnish a bid guarantee in the proper form and amount by the time set for opening of bids may be cause for rejection of the bid. If the successful bidder, upon acceptance of his bid by the OWNER, fails to execute such further contractual documents, and give such bond(s) (including any necessary coinsurance or reinsurance agreements) as may be required within ten (10) days after receipt of the Notice of Award, the contract may be terminated for default. In such event the CONTRACTOR shall be liable for any cost of procuring the work which exceeds the amount of his bid, and the bid guarantee shall be available toward offsetting such difference. i List of Equipment Offered.

If several contractors propose to join together to perform the work under this contract, equipment owned or controlled by each should be listed and the owner identified. A contract will not be awarded to a bidder who in the opinion of the OWNER (a) does not have adequate equipment, or(b) does not have firm and satisfactory arrangements to obtain adequate equipment to perform the work described in the Invitation and Bid.
