About this file

This is a Bid Bond document for the City of Fort Worth, Texas, related to the Small Diameter Water Main Extensions, Replacements & Relocations Contract 2025, identified as City Project No. 106066. The bid bond establishes the financial security required from bidders participating in the contract opportunity and outlines the conditions under which the bond becomes enforceable. The document serves as a standard form to be completed by bidders and their corporate sureties, establishing the legal obligations and remedies available to the City should a bidder fail to execute the contract after being awarded.

The bid bond requires a penal sum equal to five percent (5%) of the bidder's maximum bid price, payable to the City of Fort Worth. The bond becomes null and void if the principal satisfies all requirements and conditions and enters into the contract with the City in accordance with the specified terms. If the principal fails to execute the contract as required, the bond becomes the property of the City without recourse and may be applied toward compensating the City for the difference between the principal's bid amount and the next selected bidder's amount. The document requires signatures from both the principal bidder and a corporate surety authorized to conduct business in Texas, with venue for any legal action established in Tarrant County, Texas or the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Fort Worth Division. The bond date cannot predate the contract award date.
