About this file
This is a Bid Check Return Authorization Form for the Harris County Flood Control District related to the construction of the Meyergrove Stormwater Detention Basin - Phase 2 project in Texas. The form establishes procedures for bidders submitting either a bid bond or a cashier's check as a bid guarantee. Bidders selecting the cashier's check option must physically deliver the sealed envelope referencing the Job Number to 1111 Fannin Street, 12th Floor, Houston, TX 77002 before the bid due date. The cashier's check must be made payable to Harris County in the required amount. The form requires bidders to complete and submit either Section A (for bid bond submissions) or Section B (for cashier's check submissions) through the Bonfire submission platform, providing relevant details including bond or check number, surety information, amount, and business contact information.
Harris County will retain bid checks from the three lowest bidders until after contract award, approval, and receipt of performance and payment bonds, after which all other bid checks will be returned within seventy-two hours of bid opening. For RFP submissions, the Office of the Purchasing Agent retains all bid checks under the same conditions. Bidders authorize Harris County to return their bid check via regular mail without liability once they become unsuccessful bidders, once performance and payment bonds replace the bid check, or upon contract completion. The form includes designated space for County Clerk or Purchasing Agent use to record the date the check was mailed, the responsible party, ledger number, and department information.
