About this file
This is bid bond information documentation for Boulder County, Colorado, applicable to the Wally Toevs Helical Pier & Deck Support Installation contract opportunity. Boulder County requires bid security for construction contracts exceeding $50,000 and other contracts deemed in its best interest. Bid security must equal 5 percent of the bid amount and may be submitted as a surety bond issued by a Colorado-authorized surety company or a bank cashier's check payable to Boulder County. Bidders must submit a scanned copy of the bid security with their bid and mail the original instrument postmarked no later than the bid deadline to Boulder County Purchasing, 1325 Pearl Street, Boulder, CO 80302. The bid security guarantees that the bid will remain valid for thirty days after bid opening, after which bids become irrevocable for that same period. Failure to comply with bid security requirements results in automatic bid rejection as nonresponsive.
Following award, if the contractor fails to provide required performance and payment bonds or refuses to enter into a contract under the terms of its winning bid, Boulder County will enforce the bid security to recover actual damages. If a bidder is permitted to withdraw its bid before award at Boulder County's sole discretion, no action will be taken against the bidder or the bid security instrument. The project involves helical pier support design and installation for the Walden Ponds fishing pier, which has been closed to the public since July 2025 following a structural failure caused by support post shifting and partial deck collapse into the pond.

When bid security is required, as indicated in the instructions to bidders, the following terms apply:
• Bid security must be for an amount equal to 5 percent of the amount bid, unless otherwise stipulated in the instructions to bidders.

• Bidders should scan and submit a copy of the bid security instrument with their bid submittal AND mail to Boulder County the actual bid security instrument, postmarked no later than the date of the bid deadline.
• Bidder noncompliance with bid security requirements requires that the bid be rejected as nonresponsive.
• The bid security is submitted as a guarantee that the bid will be maintained in full force and effect for a period of thirty (30) days after the opening of the bids.
Accordingly, after bids are opened, they shall be irrevocable for a period of thirty
