16-DOC 00 65 19.19 CONSENT OF SURETY.pdf

This is a Consent of Surety to Final Payment document related to Montgomery Township's procurement for the Supply and Installation of Front PTO, Front 3-Point Hitch, and 11-Foot or 12-Foot Plow for a John Deere 6120M Tractor. The document serves as a formal surety company authorization permitting final payment to the contractor upon completion of work. The form requires the surety company to certify that all claims for labor and materials have been satisfactorily settled following examination of the contractor's books and records or receipt of an affidavit from the contractor. The surety company's signature, corporate seal, and officer identification (President or Vice President) are required on the document. The template includes blank fields for the contractor name and address, surety company name, execution date, and year, allowing customization for specific contract awards.

The document explicitly states that surety company approval of final payment does not relieve the surety of any obligations set forth in the surety bond. This language protects the owner (Montgomery Township located at 1001 Stump Road, Montgomeryville, PA 18936-9605) by ensuring continued surety liability throughout the contract period. The form requires that any signatory other than the President or Vice President of the surety company must provide a current and effective certificate demonstrating authority to execute the document on behalf of the surety company.
