9. BOND, INSURANCE AND INDEMNIFICATION
9.1. BOND POLICY
Bidders may be required (at the statutory limit or less) to provide certain bonds for Public Works/ Construction
Contracts. This ensures that if the bidder attempts to withdraw after the bid is accepted, the City will not suffer loss. The City will only accept sureties duly qualified and authorized. Personal sureties will not be accepted.
The City may require bonding on other projects to mitigate risk. The City requires payment, performance, and maintenance bonding to be provided.
9.2. TYPES OF BONDS
A. Bid Bonds - The Bid Bond minimum limit is five percent (5%) of the total amount bid and would typically apply to construction contracts. It is the City's option whether or not bidders to provide a Bid
Bond. Certified or cashier's check will not be accepted in lieu of a Bid Bond. Bid Bonds are provided on surety forms. Bid Bonds will be returned to the issuing vendor upon request. Bond must be requested within ten days of award.
B. Payment Bonds are required for Public Works contracts in excess of $50,000 and must be written for
100% of the total bid price. The Payment Bond is for the protection of those performing work as subcontractors or suppliers for the prime vendor/contractor.
C. Performance Bonds are required for all Public Works contracts when the vendor's bid exceeds $100,000, and they must be written for 100% of the total bid price. These bonds are solely for the protection of the
City in the event of a contractor/vendor default under Contract terms and conditions.
D. Maintenance Bonds can be written for a term relevant to the project. The coverage provided by a
Maintenance Bond is to guarantee against defective workmanship and materials.
9.3. BOND REQUIREMENTS
A. All Bonds must be in the forms acceptable to the City Manager.
B. All performance bonds must be executed by such sureties as are named in the current list of "Companies
Holding Certificates of Authority as Acceptable Sureties on Federal Bonds and as Acceptable
Reinsuring Companies", as published in Circular 570, as may be amended, by the Financial
Management Service, Surety Bond Branch, U.S. Department of the Treasury.
C. All performance bonds must be signed by an agent and must be accompanied by a certified copy of the authority for him or her to act.
D. All performance bonds shall be obtained from surety or insurance companies that are duly licensed or authorized in the State of Texas to issue performance bonds for the limits and coverage required.
E. Approval of bonding company as per ratings of the Texas Department of Insurance, or a successor agency.
9.4. INSURANCE AND INDEMNIFICATION POLICY
A. Contractors performing work on City property or public right-of-way shall provide indemnification and certificates of insurance listing the City as an additional insured or a copy of their insurance policy(s) including a copy of the endorsements necessary to meet contract requirements, and hold harmless and defense clauses.
B. Contractual agreement must contain a provision that transfers the risk of the project for the City to the contractor. Because the contractor may not have the financial resources to handle the risks that are transferred in the contract, the City requires that insurance be purchased and maintained by the contractor for financial security.
C. Workers' Compensation Insurance - Per Statute, contractors and subcontractors hired for building and construction projects must provide Workers' Compensation Insurance for their employees regardless of the project's cost. See Texas Labor Code,§ 406.096.
