Such a statement may be a provision or clause in the contract.
Contractor Surety Bonds and Insurance
Each contractor's bid must be accompanied by a certified or cashier's check or bid bond in the amount of at least five percent of the total bid amount, excluding taxes. Bid deposits pursuant to this policy may be based upon the architect's estimated cost of construction. Any bid which is not successful will entitle the bidder to a refund of its security or bond. The successful bidder will have the bond or security retained until such a time as it is determined that the bidder will complete the contract. All bids received will specify whether the district or the contractor will carry fire, liability, or other insurance during construction.The successful bidder is required to make, execute and deliver to the board a good and sufficient performance bond with two or more sureties or a surety company which will state that the contractor will execute and faithfully perform the provisions of the contract and will pay all subcontractors and material persons as required by law.

The board will approve authorized change orders which arise during construction. In order to facilitate to timely progress during construction, the board may grant the superintendent or designee authority to authorize change orders if additional cost to the district does not exceed the approved contingency for the project or extend beyond its original scope.Legal References:
