S02 Att09 Contractor Surety Limitations.docx

This file is a solicitation attachment that serves as a contractor surety limitations form, designed to gather bonding and financial capability information from prospective contractors and their sureties for the IDIQ Abatement Services contract at Hines VA Hospital.

The form is divided into two sections: Section A requires the prospective contractor to provide company information and contact details, then submit the form to their surety for completion. Section B must be completed by the surety and returned to the contractor for inclusion with their RFP offer and guarantee bond. The surety is required to provide information including the duration of bonding relationship with the contractor, the contractor's rating, bonding limits for single projects and aggregate amounts, whether the surety has completed projects on behalf of the contractor, and whether liability insurance has been refused. The surety must also disclose any complaints of non-payment from subcontractors or suppliers and whether the surety has been required to pay such parties. The form explicitly notes that surety responses are source selection sensitive and prohibits release of surety representative names. This attachment applies to the 100% small-business set-aside IDIQ contract for asbestos abatement, lead-based paint removal, and firestopping services at the Department of Veterans Affairs facility in Hines, Illinois.
