A guaranty shall be submitted with each bid that the bidder will execute and furnish a performance and/or payment bond within ten days after award of the contract and receipt of performance/payment bond application form. Guaranty may be submitted in either of these forms:
A. Individual bid bond payable to Harris County for 5% of the total amount of each separate bid, or
B. Bank cashier’s check payable to Harris County for 5% of the total amount of each separate bid.
If the successful bidder submits a bank cashier’s check as guaranty, Harris County may elect to hold the check until all provisions of the contract have been completed, or require the contractor to make a performance and/or payment bond.

The prescribed performance and/or payment bond application is available to the bidder from Harris County, and is the only form Harris County will accept.
If the performance and/or payment bond forms and related documents are not returned to the
