EXHIBIT_K_Surety_Bonding_Attestation_Form.pdf

Exhibit K is a Surety Bonding Attestation Form issued by Valencia College for the Irrigation System Mainline Upgrades project (ITB 2025-12). The form is designed to capture critical bonding and financial information from potential contractors, requiring details such as the proposer's name, surety name, current performance bonding capacity, and the largest completed project within the past five years. The form mandates verification of the surety's licensure in Florida and provides space for signatures from both the surety and proposer, with flexibility to submit a separate bonding letter.

The document emphasizes confidentiality, noting that financial information is protected under Florida Statute 119.07, which shields such details from public disclosure. The form is part of a comprehensive procurement process for irrigation system upgrades across Valencia College's East, Osceola, and West campuses, which involves replacing existing PVC mainline systems with high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe. While the form itself does not specify exact bonding amounts, it is a critical component of the college's risk management and contractor qualification process, ensuring that potential contractors have the financial stability and backing to successfully complete the infrastructure project.
