City Code Section
(Amended by Ordinance 183445, effective January 6, 2010.)
- A. Public Contracts. The Chief Procurement Officer has discretion to require the submission of a performance bond, a payment bond, or both in regard to any contracts subject to this Chapter in any amount not to exceed the Contract Price. If so, the requirement shall be expressly set forth in the Solicitation Document.
- B. Requirement for Surety Bond. If required, the City shall accept only a performance bond and payment bond furnished by a surety company authorized to do business in Oregon and who is duly listed in the United States Treasury List as published in the Federal Register or is otherwise approved by the City Attorney each in the amount of 100 percent of the Contract price unless otherwise specified in the Solicitation Document or such substitute security is approved by the City Attorney’s office. The surety bond shall have the company’s sealed affixed to it, be signed by the surety’s Attorney in Fact, and have attached the Power of Attorney for the Attorney in Fact. The City Attorney may waive the requirement of the corporate seal.
- C. Time for Submission. The apparent successful Offeror must furnish the required performance and payment security within 10 Days after notification by the City. If the Offeror fails to furnish the performance security as requested, the City may reject the Offer and Award the Contract to the Responsible Bidder with the next lowest Responsive Bid or the Responsible Proposer with the next highest-scoring Responsive Proposal, and, at the City's discretion, the Offeror shall forfeit its Bid or Proposal Security.
