This is a Consent of Surety to Final Payment form issued by Sarasota County Government in Florida for a Unit Price Contract (UPC) for Transit Shelter and Shelter Pad Installation. The document serves as formal approval from the surety company for the final payment to be released to the contractor by the County. The contract involves the provision of materials and services for constructing concrete pads and installing County-provided prefabricated bus shelters and accessories. The County originally anticipated awarding this Unit Price Contract for an initial term of three years, with the contract establishing the framework for ongoing transit shelter infrastructure development throughout the jurisdiction.

The Consent of Surety form requires the surety company to execute and notarize approval that final payment does not relieve the surety of its bonding obligations to Sarasota County Commission. The document includes standard fields for bond number, contractor identification, surety company information, effective date of bond, authorized representative signature, and notarized power of attorney documentation. This form represents the final stage of payment processing and ensures that the surety company's obligations remain intact despite the release of final compensation to the contractor, protecting the County's interests through continued surety coverage.
