See attached Addendum #1 Dated 6/19/19
Clarification Regarding:
2.1.4 Bonds: A 5% Bid Bond will be required for all projects greater than $50,000 (due with bid).
Revision:
A bid bond or guarantee in the equivalent of 5% of the bid price is required if the contract is greater than $50,000 (due with bid). A certified check, bank draft, U.S. Government Bonds at par value, bid bond secured by an acceptable surety company, or other negotiable instrument may be accepted as a bid guarantee.
Explanation Regarding bid bond or bid guarantee:
The bonds or guarantees ensure that if awarded the contract, the bidder will accept and perform the work under the contract. It also ensures that the bidder will not attempt to withdraw or otherwise not fulfill the contract. Finally, the bid bond ensures that the bidder will execute the
contractual documents that are required within the time specified in the solicitation, or forfeit all or part of the guarantee. A certified check, bank draft, U.S. Government Bonds at par value, bid bond secured by an acceptable surety company, or other negotiable instrument may be accepted as a bid guarantee. If the successful bidder refuses to sign the contract after award, the bid bond is forfeited and award will go to the next lowest responsive, responsible bidder. If there is not a responsive and responsible next lowest bidder, the procurement should be re-bid. If a bid bond or guarantee is not submitted with the bid, the PHA should reject the bid as non-responsive. The PHA should not return any bid bonds until the contract has been awarded and the required performance and payments bonds have been furnished, until all bids have been rejected, or the time specified for acceptance of bids has expired.
