As a civil engineer, in 1984 for a sewer pipeline project in a California city, I received a Bid Bond from a contractor who I had known for years that was forged. His was the low bid and he would have been awarded the contract had I not received a “tip”. Calls to agents, insurers and even the notary proved the bond was a fake.
Thereafter, I verified every bond, even from contractors I had known for years.

I wonder which surety companies put up the bail bonds for the suspects?
