The check must be converted to a 100% Performance Bond upon signing of the construction contracts.

Service contracts shall be accompanied by a Bid Guaranty/ Performance Bond executed by a surety company authorized to do business in the State of Ohio, or a certified check, cashier’s check or money order drawn on a solvent bank or savings and loan association in the amount of 5% of the total amount bid or the amount specified in the bid documents made payable to Lake Metroparks. A form of this bond is included in the Bid Package. The bond or check guarantee that if the bid is accepted, a contract will be entered into and its performance properly secured. This bond or certified check is held through the life of the contract.
