About this file
This is a Bid Guaranty and Performance/Payment Bond Requirements document for Harris County, Texas, establishing mandatory bonding procedures for bidders on county contracts. The document specifies that all bidders must submit a guaranty with their bids confirming their commitment to execute and furnish a performance and/or payment bond within ten days of contract award and receipt of the bond application form. Bidders may satisfy the guaranty requirement through either an individual bid bond or a bank cashier's check, both payable to Harris County and equal to 5% of the total bid amount for each separate bid.
The performance and/or payment bond must be executed by a surety company authorized to operate in the State of Texas and shall be in an amount equal to the total contract value unless otherwise specified. If a bank cashier's check is submitted as guaranty, Harris County reserves the right to either hold the check until contract completion or require submission of a separate performance and/or payment bond. The prescribed bond application form is available only from Harris County's Office of the Purchasing Agent located at 1111 Fannin Street, 12th Floor, Houston, Texas 77002. Failure to return completed performance and/or payment bond documents within ten days of award may render the contract award ineffective. Written verification of bond validity from the contractor's surety must be received by the Purchasing Agent's office before any contract payments will be issued.
