4-Consent of Surety-Change Order.pdf.pdf

This is a Consent of Surety to Change Order form used by Hillsborough County, Florida for construction contracts. The form serves as formal acknowledgment by a surety company that it consents to modifications of an existing contract with the county. The document requires the surety to acknowledge and agree to a specific change order number, which may increase or decrease the contract amount by a specified dollar figure and/or extend the completion date by a designated number of calendar days. The surety further confirms that both the performance bond and payment bond furnished under the original contract are adjusted accordingly to reflect the changes in contract amount and/or timeline specified in the change order.

The form requires execution by an authorized representative of the surety company, either as an officer with company seal or as an attorney-in-fact with attached power of attorney documentation. The document must be notarized in Hillsborough County, Florida, with the notary public certifying the identity and authority of the signing party. The form was last revised on March 9, 2020, and is applicable to the Sidewalk Replacement and Repair - South project (WORCS 2), a Hillsborough County Engineering and Operations Department initiative with an estimated contract value of $10,000,000.00 that includes sidewalk replacement, repairs, ADA compliance upgrades, and site restoration work, with a 9% Small Business Enterprise subcontractor participation goal.
