Summary
Public Procurement; performance and payment bonds on transportation-related projects. Raises from $250,000 to $350,000 the contract amount for which performance and payment bonds are required on transportation-related projects partially or wholly funded by the Commonwealth. The bill further provides that for such projects valued in excess of $250,000 but less than $350,000, the payment and performance bond can only be waived by a public body if the bid is accompanied by evidence that a surety company has declined an application from the contractor for a bid bond. The bill requires the Commissioner of Highways and the Department of the Treasury to establish a prequalification program that is agreeable to both agencies, pursuant to the Department of the Treasury, Division of Risk Management, VaWorks Program (self-bonding program).
