This solicitation requires each bidder to submit an acceptable bid guarantee (current version of Standard Form 24) along with its bid (see provision 52.228-1). The Contracting Officer has the authority and responsibility to determine whether the bid bond and its accompanying documentation clearly show that the person(s) executing the bid bond on behalf of the surety have the authority to unequivocally bind the bonding company. The bid bond must be accompanied by a signed and dated power-of-attorney. If a signed and dated powerof-attorney does not accompany the bid bond, the bid must be rejected as non-responsive. Please note that a non-responsive bid may not be corrected after bid opening to make it responsive - the bid must be rejected. The power-of-attorney must be issued by the surety (the Treasury Department-approved bonding company, not the insurance agency writing the bond). Original powers-of-attorney and photocopies or facsimiles of original, otherwise valid, powers-of attorney provide sufficient evidence of authority to bind the surety. Questions concerning the authenticity or enforceability of a power-of-attorney may be resolved by the Contracting Officer, often in consultation with the surety, after the bid opening. *The value for this project is based on a financial range. The value is listed as the highest possible cost from the range provided by a stakeholder or official project document.
