The payment request must comply with the requirements identified in FAR 32.905(b), “Payment documentation and process” and the applicable Payment clause included in this contract.

(b) Except as provided in paragraph (c) of these instructions, the Contractor shall submit payment requests electronically using the Invoice Processing Platform (IPP) at www.ipp.gov. Information regarding IPP is available on the Internet at www.ipp.gov. Assistance with the IPP application can be obtained by contacting the IPP Production Helpdesk via email IPPCustomerSupport@fiscal.treasury.gov or phone (866)973-3131.

Section H - Special Contract Requirements

IBWC.01 - Performance and Payment Bonds (DEC 2015)

A. For contracts that exceed $150,000.00 the Contractor shall, within 10 calendar days after award of contract, furnish to the Government bonds as follows:

A.1. SF 25, Performance Bond. Performance bond with a surety or sureties approved by the Contracting Officer, securing performance and fulfillment of the Contractor's obligations under this contract, with a penal amount of not less than 100% of the price of the contract at the time of award.

A.2. SF 25A, Payment Bond. Payment bond with a surety or sureties approved by the Contracting Officer, assuring payment as required by law to all persons supplying labor or materials in the prosecution of the work provided for in the contract with a penal amount of not less than 100% of the price of the contract at the time of award.

B. Costs. All costs of furnishing performance and payment bonds shall be included in the total bid in the schedule.

C. Requirements for execution of surety bonds. Each surety company bond (performance or payment), that purports to have been executed by an agent or attorney in fact for the corporate surety, is required to have submitted with it a power of attorney to the signatory agency or attorney in fact, and (1) be executed by the corporate surety upon a date reasonably proximate to the date of the bond, or (2) the power of attorney shall be accompanied by a certification of the surety to the effect that the power of attorney was in full force and effect upon a date reasonable proximate to the date of the bond.

D. Individual Sureties.

D.1. If individual surety bonds are furnished for payment and performance bonds, the individual sureties must submit with their bonds proof of ownership and value of the assets which they claim in their net worth. The Government's preferred method of proof is to have a statement of net worth prepared by a certified public accountant in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The statement of net worth on the SF 28, Affidavit of Individual Surety is not in itself sufficient and will not be accepted absent of additional proof of value and ownership.

D.2. Bidders are also cautioned that individual sureties must provide complete and detailed information in block 10 of the SF 28 concerning other contracts on which they have provided bonds. This information should include contract number, contract location, amount and type of bond, email address, and telephone number of the involved contracting officer.

D.3. Failure to provide the proof and information requested above will cause delays to the start of construction for which the contractor must bear the responsibility and may result in termination of contract for failure to provide adequate bonds.
