About this file
This is a Bid Bond Confirmation and Bid Check Return Authorization Form issued by Harris County, Texas for use in conjunction with state and local contract opportunities, specifically the Invitation to Bid for Major Repairs to Brays Bayou for the Harris County Flood Control District. The form establishes the procedures and requirements for bidders submitting bid security in the form of either a bid bond or a cashier's check. Bidders electing to submit a cashier's check must physically deliver it in a sealed envelope referencing the Job Number to 1111 Fannin, 12th Floor, Houston, TX 77002 prior to the bid due date. All bid checks must be in the required amount and made payable to Harris County rather than to any individual. The form requires bidders to complete and submit authorization for Harris County to return bid security via regular mail without liability upon occurrence of specified conditions.
The County Clerk retains bid checks from the three lowest bidders for a bid opportunity until after award and contract approval, receipt of performance bond, and receipt of a payment bond if required, with all other bidders' checks returned within seventy-two hours of bid opening. For RFP procurements, the Office of the Purchasing Agent retains all bid checks under the same conditions. Bid security is returned when the submitting entity is unsuccessful, when performance and payment bonds replace the bid check, or upon contract completion. The form provides separate sections for bid bond submissions and cashier's check submissions, each requiring specific information including bond or check number, amount, date, and issuing entity, along with bidder contact and business address information.
