Additional details are set forth in the Project Manual. Each Bid, in excess of $200,000, shall be accompanied by a certified check or surety company bid bond, drawn to the order of the Delaware Solid Waste Authority on the form provided in the Project Manual and in an amount not less than ten percent of the total bid price as a guarantee that if the Bid is accepted, a contract will be entered into and the performance thereby properly secured. Additional information regarding bid security appears in the Project Manual. The BIDDER must submit, with its BID, documentation indicating it is licensed to conduct business in the State of Delaware and BIDDER must meet and comply with all state, local, and federal laws, regulations, ordinances, and requirements in the scope of their Work and comply with any and all licensing requirements. All subcontractors used by the BIDDER must be licensed to conduct business in the State of Delaware prior to conducting any work on-site. A copy of the form of the Agreement is contained in the Project Manual and will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible BIDDER who has neither been disqualified nor rejected pursuant to the terms of the Project Manual, and, which in DSWA's judgement best serves its purposes.
