Yes, we confirm that an affiliate entity of the Bidder may post cash as bid assurance collateral on behalf of the Bidder. If such is the case, i.e., the Bidder is posting cash as bid assurance collateral, and the entity posting cash is not the Bidder, please include a note with the wire transfer to identify the Bidder on behalf of whom the bid assurance collateral is posted. We would appreciate, but do not require, that you also advise the Procurement Administrator by email that bid assurance collateral has been posted.  This will make it easier for the Procurement Administrator to confirm receipt with the Companies and to ensure that proper credit is given for fulfilling this requirement of the Part 2 Proposal.
