If arrangements will be made for someone to cover the shift, these persons must be approved in advance by the Lake Manager and must meet the required bonding and insurance requirements.

Visitors will not be allowed to connect to the Contractor’s utilities at any time. All non-authorized personnel are to remain outside the gate house at all times.

TASK 19. Security Bonding (Bonding for Fee Collection): The Contractor must be fully bonded or insured to cover collected funds not received by the designated Government agent or Recreation One Stop by furnishing the Contracting Officer proof of such bond or security in the minimum amount of $5,000.00 payable to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

The bonds should note that the contract Gate Attendant collectors are not a direct employee of the Government. Term of the bond is for a minimum 60 days past the Contractor’s effective date of termination. A condition in the bond will require the bonding company to notify the Corps of Engineers before the bond is modified, terminated or cancelled, prior to the original termination date. The Contractor must provide a copy of the bond at the Pre-work Conference. The Contractor shall not start work without proof of bonding. The Contractor can choose one of the following options to fulfill this requirement:
