3-06 Bond Requirement Affidavit.pdf

This is a Bond Requirement Affidavit form issued by the City of Temple, Texas, for the Georgetown Railroad Trail, Phase 1 construction project. The form must be completed and signed by the bidder's bond agent or broker and submitted with the bid either through Bonfire or as a hard copy. The affidavit certifies that the bond agent has reviewed all bond requirements with the contractor and commits to furnishing valid bonds and appropriate power of attorney documentation within thirty days of contract award, contingent upon the contractor being selected. The contractor must complete approximately 7,400 linear feet of a 10-foot ADA-compliant hike and bike trail installation along the Georgetown Railroad corridor from South 31st Street to South 5th Street, including landscaping, irrigation, pedestrian lighting, electrical components, and a pedestrian HAWK signal. The project timeline requires completion within 210 consecutive calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, and the engineer's estimate for the project is $3,780,000.

The bond requirement affidavit is a mandatory submission component for bid consideration, and failure to meet this requirement provides the City of Temple the right to reject the bid and award the contract to another qualifying contractor. The form requires the bond agent to provide agency name, address, contact telephone number, and the contractor's name. Bidders with questions regarding bond requirements should contact the City of Temple's Risk Manager at (254) 298-5674, while questions about the bid itself should be directed to the Director of Purchasing at (254) 298-5655. This project is funded through TxDOT and operates under TxDOT Standard Specifications, with the award structured as a unit price contract.
