About this file

This is a Bid Bond Confirmation and Bid Check Return Authorization Form for Harris County, Texas, applicable to an Invitation to Bid for Roadway Improvements on Avenue G from Texas Avenue to Allen Genoa Road in South Houston (UPIN 240102MF3HS01). The form establishes the procedures for bidders to submit either a bid bond or a cashier's check as a bid security instrument. Bidders electing to submit a cashier's check must physically deliver it in a sealed envelope to 1111 Fannin, 12th Floor, Houston, TX 77002 prior to the bid due date. All bid checks must be made payable to Harris County and submitted in the required amount.

The form outlines the retention and return procedures for bid security instruments based on bid type and outcome. For Invitations to Bid, the County Clerk may retain the bid checks of the three lowest bidders until after contract award, approval, receipt of a performance bond, and receipt of a payment bond if required; all other bid checks are returned within seventy-two hours of bid opening. For Requests for Proposal, the Office of the Purchasing Agent retains all bid checks under the same conditions. Bidders authorize Harris County to return bid checks via regular mail without liability upon occurrence of any of three conditions: unsuccessful bidder status, replacement by a performance bond and payment bond if required, or contract completion. The form requires bidders to specify either Section A (bid bond details including bond number, surety name, date, and amount) or Section B (cashier's check details including check number, bank name, date, and amount), along with business name, address, telephone, and email information.
