REGULAR MEETING MAY 29. 1984 NOTIFICATION OF AMENDMENT TO SURETY REQUIREMENT FOR PUBLIC PURCHASE BIDDERS Board Attorney Carolyn V. Pfotenhauer advised that Indiana Code 36-1-9-6 regulating the submission of bid bonds by bidders under the public purchase statute has been amended to eliminate the requirement that a bidder having his principal place of business outside the State of Indiana submit a bond secured by a surety having its principal place of business in the State of Indiana. The Board can now accept bid bonds from any surety regardless of the state in which the bidder is located. Therefore, each bidder now has the option of submitting either a certified check or a bid bond from the surety of its choice. The Board was further advised that because of this amendment, future Notices to Bidders will be corrected to reflect this new change in the state law.
