If such a determination has not been made, the minimum requirements must be as <br />follows: <br />(a) A bid guarantee from each bidder equivalent to five percent of the bid price. The "bid <br />guarantee" must consist of a firm commitment such as a bid bond, certified check, or <br />other negotiable instrument accompanying a bid as assurance that the bidder will, upon <br />acceptance of the bid, execute such contractual documents as may be required within the <br />time specified. <br />(b) A performance bond on the part of the contractor for 100 percent of the contract price. A <br />"performance bond" is one executed in connection with a contract to secure fulfillment of <br />all the contractor's obligations under such contract. <br />(c) A payment bond on the part of the contractor for 100 percent of the contract price. A <br />"payment bond" is one executed in connection with a contract to assure payment as <br />required by law of all persons supplying labor and material in the execution of the work <br />provided for in the contract. <br />200.326 Contract provisions. <br />The non -Federal entity's contracts must contain the applicable provisions described in Appendix <br />II to Part 200 Contract Provisions for non -Federal Entity Contracts Under Federal Awards. <br />4.
