No bid will be considered unless it is made on a form provided by the District and accompanied by Money Order or Bidder's Bond from a surety company registered with the State of California Insurance Commissioner, for Ten Percent (10%) of the amount of the bid, made payable to the District. The above-mentioned money order or bid bond shall be given as a guarantee that the bidder shall execute the Contract, if it be awarded to him, in conformity with the Contract Documents.

By submitting a bid or sub-bid, each bidder and sub-bidder agrees that in the event that it submits any protest to the terms of the Bid Documents or to any subsequent decision by District staff or District's governing board with respect to any bid protest on the project, the District retains the discretion to reject all bids or to make no decision whatsoever. If the District rejects all bids for any reason, fails to make any decision or overrules any protest and awards the contract, the protesting entity waives all claims, rights and causes of action for loss of anticipated profits from the contract or any subcontract, regardless of whether the District's action is subsequently invalidated by a court of law. The District shall be deemed to have relied to its detriment on such waiver in deciding either to reject all bids or to award the contract. Any attempted reservation of rights waived herein shall be grounds to reject a bid as non-responsive. Last day for questions is 12noon today.
