equal to not less than five percent (5%) of the proposal, or in lieu thereof a bidder may offer a
bid bond of five percent (5%) of the bid executed by a surety company licensed under the laws
of North Carolina to execute the contract in accordance with the bid bond. Said deposit shall be
retained by the owner as liquidated damages in event of failure of the successful bidder to
execute the contract within ten days after the award or to give satisfactory surety as required by
law.
