This is a Bid Bond Confirmation and Bid Check Return Authorization Form for Harris County, Texas, related to an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for Intersection Improvement at Prairie Drive and Windfern Road for Harris County Precinct 1 (UPIN 24101MF3MD01). The form establishes the procedures for submitting bid security, either in the form of a bid bond or a cashier's check. Offerors must submit the completed form through the Bonfire platform and ensure all bid checks are made payable to Harris County. Physical delivery of cashier's checks must occur at 1111 Fannin, 12th Floor, Houston, TX 77002 before the bid due date, in a sealed envelope referencing the Job Number.

For Requests for Proposals (RFPs), the Office of the Purchasing Agent retains all bid checks until after award, approval, and receipt of required bonds. Harris County is granted authorization to return bid checks via regular mail without liability once the offeror is deemed unsuccessful, required bonds have replaced the bid check, or the contract is completed.
