The instructions require performance and payment bonds after award. What must the apparent low bidder be able to furnish?
Correct Answer
C) Required post-award bonds from an acceptable surety.
Post-award bonding requirements are part of bidder responsibility and contract execution.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Post-award bonding requirements are part of bidder responsibility and contract execution.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: Limit performance bond before award to a material sample only
Choice A gives Only a material sample. Its specific error: the option delays or omits the controlling step.
Option B: Base the performance bond before award response on a verbal promise
Choice B (Only a verbal promise) is rejected because the action skips the timing, documentation, or field-control step needed for Performance bond before award.
Option D: Use a later change request to handle performance bond before award after award
The trap in D is Only a punch-list schedule. That selection is wrong because it leaves the work at an informal or incomplete stage, while Performance bond before award requires Required post-award bonds from an acceptable surety.; The successful bidder must furnish required performance and payment bonds.
Memory Technique
Pair performance bond before award with the real field trigger, then choose the response that produces Required post-award bonds from an acceptable surety.
