Request_to_Waive_Bid_Bond_Requirement_10.30.24.pdf

This is a Request to Waive Bond Requirements document submitted by Washington County, Oregon for Project Number PRJ-100315, the Culvert Materials for the Walker Road (185th Ave to 173rd Ave) Project. The request, submitted by Kira Furby on April 7, 2026, seeks waiver of bid bond, performance bond, and payment bond requirements for the manufacture and delivery of a precast three-sided arch culvert structure to the project site. The project has an estimated expense of $575,000 with a completion end date of September 30, 2026.

The justification for the bond waiver is that the solicitation encompasses only the manufacture and delivery of a culvert with no services or construction work required, thereby reducing the typical risk profile associated with standard construction projects. All three bond types—bid bond, performance bond, and payment bond—have been marked for waiver in this request.
