About this file
This is an electronic surety bonds implementation document from Indian River County, Florida, outlining the new eBond process required for contractors bidding on County projects, including the Property Appraiser Office Remodel located at 1801 27th Street, Vero Beach, Florida. The County has implemented Surety2000, a nationally recognized electronic surety bond platform, to streamline the bidding process by requiring contractors to submit their entire bid package, including bid bonds, completely online through the platform. The new process eliminates the need for paper forms, notarizations, shipping, and in-person delivery. Contractors must complete four key steps: confirm their bonding agent is registered with Surety2000, register as a bidder on the platform if not already registered, submit their electronic bid bond through the platform, and obtain an 11-digit bond verification code from their bonding agent to enter in the Euna Bonfire bid submission system.
The Surety2000 platform charges an annual fee of $480 for bidder registration and use. The eBond process provides increased security through built-in fraud prevention measures, including digital audit trails, QR code validation, and unique bond numbers for every document, while also enabling faster bid awards through instant bond verification. Contractors requiring assistance with the electronic bid bond process can contact Surety2000 directly at 1-800-660-3263 or help@surety2000.com, or consult with their bonding agent. The County has provided an educational video and registration links to facilitate contractor participation in the new system.

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.
