What must accompany a bid for construction on a Florida public project under s. 489.131(2)?
Correct Answer
A) Evidence that the bidder holds an appropriate certificate or registration, unless the work is exempt
Section 489.131(2): "The state or any county or municipality shall require that bids submitted for construction, improvement, remodeling, or repair on public projects be accompanied by evidence that the bidder holds an appropriate certificate or registration, unless the work to be performed is exempt under s. 489.103." Subsection (1) puts the matching duty on the awarding officers, who must determine compliance before awarding.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option B: A statement of the bidder’s net worth reviewed by a certified public accountant
A net worth statement is not what the subsection requires.
Option C: A payment bond in at least the amount of the bid, issued by an admitted surety
A bond is a separate matter; the bid needs license evidence.
Option D: A letter from the local building official confirming the bidder’s permit history over the previous five years
Permit history letters are not what the subsection requires.
