About this file

This is a Bid Bond Confirmation and Bid Check Return Authorization Form for Harris County, Texas, applicable to the Renovation of the Distribution Center at the Michael Talbot Service Center for the Harris County Flood Control District. The form establishes procedures for bidders to submit either a bid bond or a cashier's check as a guarantee of good faith bidding. Bidders electing to provide a cashier's check must physically deliver it in a sealed envelope referencing the Job Number to 1111 Fannin, 12th Floor, Houston, TX 77002 before the submission deadline. All checks must be payable to Harris County and in the required amount.

The form grants Harris County authorization to return bid checks via regular mail without liability under three conditions: when a bidder is unsuccessful, when performance and payment bonds replace the bid check, or upon contract completion. For standard bids, the County Clerk retains checks from the three lowest bidders until after award approval and receipt of required bonds, then returns all other checks within seventy-two hours of bid opening. For RFPs, the Office of the Purchasing Agent retains all checks until after award approval and receipt of required bonds. Bidders must complete Section A for bid bond submissions or Section B for cashier's check submissions, providing the bond or check number, amount, issuing entity, date, and business contact information.
