Exhibit N Bid Guarantee Form.pdf

This is a Bid Guarantee Form for RFP No. 2026004 issued by the Northern Wasco County People's Utility District in Oregon. The District is soliciting proposals from licensed and qualified contractors with experience in aerial and underground Fiber to the Premises (FTTP) construction, including service drop installation and associated network equipment. The form specifies the bidding and contracting requirements for prospective vendors responding to this fiber optic construction services opportunity.

Bidders must submit either a bid bond or, as an alternative documented in this form, a cashier's check or certified check payable to the Northern Wasco County People's Utility District in an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the base bid and alternates. This bid guarantee becomes the property of the District if the proposal is accepted by the Governing Board and the bidder fails to execute the required contract and furnish the necessary sureties within the specified timeframe. If the bidder is not selected or meets all contractual obligations, the guarantee check is returned to the bidder. This exhibit provides the framework for bid security submission in lieu of a traditional bid bond.
