A one hundred percent (100%) performance and payment bond will be required of the successful bidder. It is intended that actual construction of all work divisions shall be started as soon as practicable, and each bidder shall be prepared to enter promptly into a construction contract, furnish a performance bond, furnish a certificate of insurance, and begin work without delay. Contract documents for this project, prepared and certified by the City Engineer or a designated Consultant, setting forth in detail the drawings, plans and specifications for said division work are available online. Questions must be submitted electronically through Ion Wave so that all project bidders have access to the questions and answers. For this reason, no questions will be answered by email, phone or in person. The City of Columbus exclusively uses Euna Procurement, powered by Ion Wave, for the notification and dissemination of all solicitations. The receipt of solicitations through any other means may result in the receipt of incomplete specifications and/or addendums, which could ultimately render the bid/proposal non-compliant. The City of Columbus accepts no responsibility for the receipt and/or notification of solicitations through any other means.
