BOBS Bid Bond Form: Amended Language
Occasionally, bid closing get extended when Bid Bonds have
already been provided. Typically, these are short extensions
which do not complicate the bidding process.
Interactive displays and unique exhibits to provide information about industry
and the science behind LNG, including participation from Science World British
Columbia.
However, when the closing extension is for a longer period of
time, the question is raised about whether the Bid Bond is still
valid. This may sometimes require the bond provider to issue a
rider on the Bond to accommodate the extension.
Dates and locations of the LNG energy seminars are:
Fort St. John, North Peace Cultural Centre: November 4th &5th
Terrace, Best Western Terrace Inn: November 9th & 10th
Prince Rupert, North Coast Convention Centre: November 18th & 19th
To respond to these situations (which expend unnecessary
resources from the BOBS Administrative Staff and those issuing
the bonds), we are adding language to the BCCA No. 204 Bid
Bond to accommodate possible bid closing date changes.
