About this file
The document is a Bid Check Return Authorization Form from Harris County, Texas, detailing the requirements for submitting a bid bond or cashier's check when participating in a county procurement process. Bidders must complete this form when submitting through the Bonfire platform, with specific instructions for physically delivering a cashier's check to 1111 Fannin Street, 12th Floor, Houston, TX 77002 if choosing that option. The form outlines the process for bid check handling, including retention of checks from the three lowest bidders until contract award and approval, and return of other bidders' checks within 72 hours of bid opening.
The form authorizes Harris County to return the bid check via regular mail under three conditions: if the bidder is unsuccessful, after a performance bond (and payment bond, if required) replaces the bid check, or upon contract completion. Bidders must ensure the check is for the required amount and payable to Harris County, not to any individual. The document provides sections for recording bid bond or cashier's check details, including the check number, bank, amount, and bidder contact information, with a section reserved for County Clerk or Purchasing Agent use when processing the return of the bid check.
