by bid security in the form of cash, a certified check, cashier's check, or bid bond in the amount
of the ten percent (10%) of the base bid amount, made payable to the order of "The County of

The bid security shall be given as a guarantee that the bidder will enter into a contract if awarded

refuses, neglects or fails to enter into said contract or to furnish the necessary bonds and
insurance certificates after being requested to do so by the Board of Supervisors of Contra Costa

with Public Contract Code Section 22300 and the General Conditions of the Contract. Such
securities shall be valued by the County Treasurer-Tax Collector, whose decision shall be final.
Also, types of securities which are not listed in Government Code Section 16430 or Public
Contract Code Section 22300 must be approved as eligible for investment under Public Contract
Code Section 22300 by the County Treasurer-Tax Collector before bid opening. Unless such
