About this file
This file is an informational document from Indian River County, Florida, describing the implementation of electronic surety bonds (eBonds) through Surety2000 for the Property Appraiser Office Remodel (Rebid) project. The document outlines the county's transition from traditional paper bid bonds to a secure, paperless electronic bonding system designed to streamline the bidding process. Contractors bidding on County projects must submit their entire bid, including bid bonds, through the Surety2000 platform online, eliminating the need for paper forms, notarizations, shipping, or in-person delivery. The process requires bidders to complete four sequential steps: confirm their bonding agent is registered with Surety2000, register themselves as a bidder on the platform, submit their electronic bid bond, and provide the 11-digit Surety2000 bond verification code when submitting their bid through Euna Bonfire.
The annual fee to utilize the Surety2000 platform is $480 per bidder. Key benefits of the eBond process include faster bid awards with instant bond verification, enhanced security with digital audit trails and QR code validation, and a simplified submission process that eliminates risks associated with lost or delayed paperwork. Bidders requiring assistance with electronic bid bonds can contact Surety2000 directly at 1-800-660-3263 or help@surety2000.com. The document does not specify pricing terms, set-asides, contract term, or other salient financial or contractual details related to the Property Appraiser Office Remodel project itself.

Indian River County is excited to announce another improvement to our public procurement process - implementing electronic surety bonds (eBonds) through Surety2000, a nationally recognized leader in secure, paperless bond execution.
The new process requires contractors bidding on County projects to submit their entire bid, including bid bonds, completely online — eliminating the need for paper forms, notarizations, shipping, or in-person delivery. In addition to saving time for contractors and County staff, the process improves accuracy, reduces administrative costs, and enhances security.
Key benefits of the eBond process include:
Faster bid awards — Bonds are verified instantly through Surety2000’s secure platform.
Increased security — Built-in fraud prevention measures, including digital audit trails, QR code validation, and a unique bond number for every document.
Simplified process — Contractors can submit bonds anytime, from anywhere, without the risk of lost or delayed paperwork.

Bidders should complete the below steps:
1. Confirm Bonding Agent Registration Verify that your bonding agent is registered with the Surety2000 e-Bond platform. If they are not yet registered, direct them to register at this site - Register Here
2. Bidder Registration If your bonding agent has an active account with Surety2000 and you (the Bidder) have not already registered, you must also register. The annual fee to utilize the Surety2000 platform is currently $480.
CLICK HERE to register with Surety2000.
3. Submit Your e-Bond Once both the bonding agent and Bidder have active Surety2000 accounts, the Bidder may use the platform to establish and submit the electronic bid bond with their bid.
4. Use Bond Code in Bid Submission Your bonding agent will provide an 11-digit, unique Surety2000 bond verification code. Enter this code in the “Surety2000 eBond Number” area in Euna Bonfire when preparing your bid.
This code allows the County, your bonding agent, and Surety2000 to confirm a valid bid bond has been issued for your project.
