About this file
This is a Bid Bond Information document issued by Boulder County, Colorado, establishing bid security requirements for construction and other contracts procured by the county. Boulder County may require bid security at its discretion for construction contracts exceeding $50,000 and for other contract types as deemed in the county's best interest. When required, bid security must equal 5 percent of the amount bid unless otherwise specified in the instructions to bidders. Acceptable forms of bid security include a bond issued by a surety company authorized to conduct business in Colorado or a bank cashier's check made payable to Boulder County. Bidders must submit a scanned copy of the bid security instrument with their bid and mail the original instrument to Boulder County Purchasing at 1325 Pearl Street, Boulder, CO 80302, postmarked no later than the bid deadline. Bid security is irrevocable for thirty days following bid opening and guarantees that the winning bidder will maintain its bid in full force and effect during this period.
Noncompliance with bid security requirements results in automatic rejection of the bid as nonresponsive. Boulder County retains sole discretion to permit bid withdrawal prior to award without action against the bidder or bid security. Following award, if the contractor fails to deliver required performance and payment bonds or refuses to execute a contract under the terms of its winning bid, Boulder County will reject the bid and enforce the bid security to recover actual damages. This policy applies to the county's 2026 Thermoplastic Markings procurement, which solicits contractor services for installation of preformed thermoplastic pavement markings for annual roadway maintenance throughout Boulder County.
