PERFORMANCE BONDS

1. The contract documents for all buildings let by the County Council which

exceed a value of 250,000 are to include for the provision of a performance

bond. However, the successful Contractor may elect to deposit with the

Councils bankers a sum of money in lieu of a bond. This Deposit by Way of

Security will be 10% of the Contract Sum and the Contractor will be required to

enter into a formal Agreement with the Council.

If the Contractor does not procure execution and delivery of the bond (or a

Deposit by Way of Security), then, notwithstanding any other term of the

Contract, the Council may deduct

from the sums that would otherwise be due to the Contractor

under the Contract.

2. The clauses to be included in the Preliminaries to bills of

quantities/schedules of work/specifications/employers requirements are to be

as shown on Appendix A attached. A separate item is also to be included

on the General Summary for pricing/identifying the cost of providing the bond

or for stating that the Contractor will enter into a Deposit by Way of Security

(for which there is no administrative charge).

Appendix A

3. Tenderers are required at the time of tendering to state the name and

address of the Surety with whom they propose to enter into a bond and the

Councils standard documentation makes provision for this (see E339

Specimen Bond). (Should a tenderer be undecided as to whether to enter

into a bond or a Deposit by Way of Security, the name and address of the

Surety must be stated).

Tenderers are expected to ensure that their Surety will accept the Councils

bond wording without amendment prior to submitting their bid. Failure to do

so and which results in any increase in the cost of a bond (to the successful

Contractor) post contract award, will be wholly absorbed by the Contractor

and will not be added to the tender price/Contract Sum.

E339

4. When tenders are received and the priced bills of quantities/schedules of

work/specifications/employers requirements are checked a check is also to

be made that the cost of the bond (where a Deposit by Way of Security will

not be entered into has been shown separately from other costs and, if not, a

separate statement is to be obtained from the tenderer
