No, you typically cannot use cash instead of a bid bond. A bid bond is a specific type of surety bond that guarantees the contractor will enter into a contract if awarded the bid, whereas cash does not fulfill this legal requirement. However, some jurisdictions or projects may allow for alternative forms of security, so it's best to check the specific bidding requirements for your project. Always consult the bid documents or seek clarification from the issuing authority.
No. The bid bond performed its function - allowing you to bid. This is why bid bonds are inexpensive. Had you been awarded the contract you would then need another bond, a "performance bond". This bond would be an extension of the bid bond and be priced equivalent to the value of the project. Yes. The above is incorrect atleast in the architecture/construction industry. Architectural handbook of professional practice 14 edition as reference. It is simply to insure a bidders intent to enter into contract if awarded the contract, and protect the owner if the bidder withdraws their bid
It depends upon the bid document codiciles and the provisions of the bid documents. If the terms are such that the owner will accept a cash bond in the form of some mutually agreeable surety such as a cashier's check held in escrow by eiither the architect, owner or third party, then yes. In most cases this is allowed but one would ask for a interpretation of the bid documents by the bidding agency. The above comments only usually apply to private bidding, government or public biddocuments may prohibit such .
