A Bid Guaranty, as required by ORC 153.54, shall accompany each bid in one of two forms, as follows:
-
A certified check or cashier's check in the amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the total bid amount submitted with a signed Bid Guaranty form. Upon entering into a contract with the Owner, the successful Bidder must then file a performance bond for the full amount of the contract. Checks will be returned to the successful and unsuccessful Bidders when the contract is executed; or after sixty (60) days. Checks are to be made payable to the City of Athens, Ohio.
-
A Bid Guaranty and Contract Bond for the full amount of the Bid. The bond will be retained for the successful Bidder, but returned to the unsuccessful Bidders upon execution of the contract.
If no contract award has been made within sixty (60) days after the opening of Bids, a bidder may demand the return of the bid security provided the Bidder has not been notified of the acceptance of its Bid.
Attorney-in-fact who sign contract bonds must file with each bond a certified copy of their power of attorney, properly dated. Checks should be made payable to the City of Athens. FAILURE TO SUBMIT A PROPER BOND WILL AUTOMATICALLY INVALIDATE THE BID. If the successful Bidder fails to enter a contract or defaults in any portion of his/her bid the bid guarantee shall be forfeited in accordance with OCR 153.54.
Submit ONE ORIGINAL AND ONE COPY of offer on the Bid Form provided. Bidders may supplement this form as appropriate. Signing of a Non-Collusion Affidavit and a Personal Property Tax Statement are to be included and returned with the bid.

The Owner reserves the right to accept or reject any or all offers, to accept the lowest and best responsive and responsible bid, to waive any informalities in bids received, and to enter into the contract which, in the sole judgment of the Owner, will suit the Owner's needs.
