About this file

This is a Performance Bond template issued by the State of Texas, acting through the Board of Regents of The University of Texas System, for use in the Muntz Library Stair Renovation project at The University of Texas at Tyler. The bond serves as a guarantee that the Principal contractor will faithfully perform the contract in accordance with all plans, specifications, and contract documents. The bond requires the contractor to fully indemnify the State of Texas from all costs and damages resulting from the contractor's default or failure to perform, and to reimburse the State for any expenses incurred in remedying such defaults. In the event of a declared default, the surety must assume completion of the contract within fifteen days and become entitled to payment of the contract's remaining balance.

The penal sum of the bond is to be determined and filled in by the parties, with specific attestation requirements applying when the bond amount exceeds $100,000. The surety must hold either a certificate of authority from the United States Secretary of the Treasury or provide evidence of reinsurance by a reinsurer holding such authority for any liability exceeding $100,000. The bond is issued pursuant to Section 2253.021 of the Texas Government Code and includes a waiver by the surety of notice regarding any changes, extensions, alterations, or additions to the contract terms or specifications. Venue for any legal action on the bond lies in the county where the contract work is to be performed, and the surety agrees to pay all losses, expenses, and attorney's fees incurred by the State of Texas due to any breach of the bond's obligations.
