I am contacting you on behalf of the National Association of Surety Bond Producers (NASBP), a national trade association of companies employing licensed resident and nonresident surety bond producers placing bid, performance, and payment bonds in the State of Texas and all other jurisdictions. NASBP recently became aware of the contract documents and bond forms for the Harris County Toll Road Authority (County)-Tollway Ship Channel Bridge Replacement project (Project). NASBP has significant concerns about some of the terms and conditions of these documents and believes that such provisions will likely decrease the number of contractors that submit proposals for the Project and, in addition, will likely increase the cost of the Project.
