This is a Bid Bond Form for the City of Palo Alto related to the Gas Main Replacement Project 25 (IFB #194217) in Santa Clara County, California.

The mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for July 2, 2025, at 10:00 am, with bids due on July 24, 2025, before 3:00 pm. The project involves replacing approximately 25,600 linear feet of gas main pipelines in various diameters, including installation under Matadero Creek and Barron Creek along Ross Road.

Contractors must be duly admitted surety insurers under the laws of the State of California and must register with the California Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) in compliance with prevailing wage regulations. Within ten days of issuance of the Notice of Award, the contractor must enter into a contract with the Owner and provide all specified bonds with an admitted surety, or pay to the Owner the difference between the bid amount and any larger amount for which the Owner contracts with another party to perform the work, not to exceed the bid bond amount. The project has been awarded a federal grant from the Department of Transportation for Natural Gas Distribution Infrastructure Safety and Modernization, and contractors must comply with the Build America, Buy America (BABA) Act mandating domestically sourced materials. Liquidated damages are assessed at $4,600 per day for unexcused delays.
