12-Attachment F.pdf

This is a Declaration of Surety document submitted as Attachment F for the Carlsbad State Veterans Cemetery construction project in New Mexico. The document serves as a surety/bonding company letter required as part of the bidding process for this state construction contract. The declaration of surety confirms that a bonding company is willing to provide performance and payment bonds for the selected contractor, demonstrating financial capability and commitment to ensure project completion in accordance with contract specifications. This requirement is standard for public construction projects and protects the state's interests by guaranteeing that the contractor will perform all work as specified and pay all laborers, suppliers, and subcontractors.

The surety declaration is a critical component of the bid submission package for this approximately $2.8 million construction project involving a new administration and maintenance building, committal shelter, columbarium units, site infrastructure, and landscaping across a 15-acre tract in Carlsbad. By requiring this documentation, New Mexico ensures that only contractors backed by qualified surety companies—those financially stable and capable of backing performance bonds—can proceed as viable bidders. The surety's willingness to issue bonds indicates the contractor's reputation and financial standing within the construction industry.
