Pursuant to the Los Angeles City Charter, Section 271, and the Los Angeles Administrative Code, Division 10, Chapter 1, Article 2, Section 10.15, it is the policy of the City of Los Angeles to require that every bid/proposal be accompanied by either (a) a check certified by a responsible bank in the City of Los Angeles; (b) a cashiers check issued by a responsible bank; (c) a corporate surety bond of a responsible surety company for an amount not less than ten percent (10%) of the amount bid, payable to the order of the City of Los Angeles, Department of Airports, as a guarantee that the bidder will enter into the proposed contract and furnish the required bonds.
