SUBCONTRACT BOND REQUIREMENTS

KEMP BROS. CONSTRUCTION, INC. (KBCI) requires all subcontractors bidding on this project to provide payment and performance bonds in the amount of 100% of the subcontract value. KBCI will not assist with the bond premium or provide a change order for the value of the bond. Subcontractors shall include the cost of the bond in their price proposal. Subcontractors under ½ of 1% of the total contract value may have this requirement waived by KBCI at KBCI’s sole discretion. The payment and performance bonds must be issued by an admitted surety within ten (10) business days of the receipt of the Subcontract Agreement from KBCI. KBCI shall be named the obligee and shall guarantee prompt and faithful performance of the subcontract scope of work and the payment of all claims for labor and materials furnished or used in and about the work to be done and performed under the subcontract agreement. When so requested, failure by the Subcontractor to provide the requested 100% payment and performance bonds within the time allowed may be reason for KBCI to request substitution of the Subcontractor in accordance with Section 4107 of the Public Contracting Code.

GENERAL SUBCONTRACTING REQUIREMENTS

The subcontractor agrees that its bid will remain valid for the same period of time that KBCI’s bid must remain valid with the owner, as specified in the project’s documents. Each listed subcontractor must execute KBCI’s standard subcontract agreement or Design Assist subcontractor agree. Subcontracts are available from KBC for review. KBCI is currently using Textura® as its internet-based construction invoicing and payment solution. With Textura® subcontractors can electronically sign and submit pay applications - including invoices, sworn statements, and conditional and/or unconditional lien waivers. It is assumed that any costs for the use of Textura® incurred by the subcontractor(s) are included in the subcontractor’s bid proposal at the time of the bid.

This project has a Project Stabilization Agreement. Subcontractor, by submitting a bid proposal, acknowledges the requirements of such agreements and further agrees to adhere to all of the requirements therein as provided in the bid documents’ General Conditions and Supplemental Conditions.

Any subcontractor bidding on a public works project must be registered with the DIR for their bid to be deemed responsive.
