About this file

This is a Bid Bond form issued by the County of Los Alamos Procurement Division in Los Alamos, New Mexico, for the San Ildefonso 8" Waterline Replacement project. The project involves replacing an existing 8-inch, 65-year-old cast-iron water distribution line with a new 12-inch PVC pipe. Approximately 4,800 linear feet of 12-inch AWWA C900, DR-18 Class 19 PVC pipe will be installed, along with approximately 190 linear feet of 8-inch pipe for tie-ins. The work will be conducted in a residential area with multiple road and sidewalk crossings. The bid bond serves as a guarantee that the bidder will enter into a contract with the County upon bid acceptance and will provide performance and payment bonds as specified in the solicitation documents.

The bid bond is set at five percent of the bid amount and binds the Principal (bidder), Surety, and the County of Los Alamos jointly and severally. The bond obligates the bidder to either enter into the contract with appropriate performance and payment bonds or pay the County the difference between the bidder's quoted amount and any higher amount the County must pay to secure another contractor to perform the work. The Surety waives notice of any extension of the time within which the County may accept the bid. This bond requirement ensures bidder accountability and protects the County's interests throughout the solicitation and contract award process.
