| Q1: | Request clarification for "Vendors will be required to provide performance and payment bonds equal to 100% of the contract award prior to award of the contract. Cost of these bonds should be included in the total project cost".
This reads as if the bonds need to be purchased and in place prior to business award. Could bonds be purchased based on business awarded? That would eliminate out of pocket costs for just participating in the bid process. |
| A: | Yes. Suppliers will just need to have a bonding company already lined up, so that if selected for award, (after the bidding), the bonding company can immidiately provide a letter of intent to Spring ISD. |
