TWG is requesting that the maintenance bond requirements be removed for those contractors submitting a bid on the MEP trades to be opened on June 6, 2017. A number of contractors have voiced cost concerns regarding the City of South Bend's bonding requirements, and such requirements have increased contractor costs making it not feasible for them to bid on this Project. It is expected that removal of the maintenance bond will increase the number of responsive bidders.
