Question 3
Posted: 4/22/2024
Question: 1. Is the required bid bond amount of $750,000.00 correct? Or, should it be 5% of $750,000.00? a. In the past Arlington County has typically stated: Bid Surety in the amount of not less than 5% of the bid must be submitted with the bid. Performance and Payment Bonds in the amount of 100% of the award will be required of the successful bidder. Since each project is not expected to be greater than $750,000.00, with a total of no more that $3 million annually, 5% of $750,000.00 seems to be more in line with recent Bid Bond requirements.
