The format will allow multiple "prime" contractors for Flooring/Base and Painting/Wall Finishes. Bidders are allowed and encouraged to submit a combination bid as well. All bid bonds shall be made payable to the Kosciusko County Auditor and be executed by a surety company authorized to do business in the State of Indiana.

No bidder may withdraw his bid for a period of thirty (30) calendar days after the date set for bid opening. Bidders shall comply with provisions related to pre-bid site visit and pre-bid site conference as set forth in the instruction to bidders. In comparing bids, consideration will not be confined to price only.

It is the intention of the owner to start work immediately the contractor has been selected and contracts have been prepared and signed.
