(1) shall require each bidder to submit a bid guarantee and a performance bond payable to the state with the bidder's proposal if the estimated cost of the project is more than two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000); and
(2) may require a bidder to submit a bid guarantee and a performance bond payable to the state with the bidder's proposal if the estimated cost of the project is not more than two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000).
