Bonding When applicable, and depending on the laws of the TIPS member’s jurisdiction, performance and payment bonds will be required on construction or labor required jobs and awarded contractor will meet the TIPS member’s local and state purchasing requirements. In Texas, Performance Bonds are required when the project is valued at greater than $100,000 and Payment Bonds on jobs over $25,000. Awarded contractors may need to provide additional capacity as jobs increase. Bonds will not require that a fee be paid to TIPS. The actual cost of the bond will be a pass through to the TIPS member and added to the purchase order/contract.
