If the bid is for any other contract authorized by section 731.14 or 731.141 of the Revised Code, it shall be accompanied by a sufficient bond or certified check, cashier’s check, or money order on a solvent bank or savings and loan association that, if the bid is accepted, a contract will be entered into and the performance of it properly secured.
