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 document serves as formal acknowledgment from a surety company that it consents to modifications to an existing contract between the county and a contractor. The form requires the surety to acknowledge and agree to a specific change order number, document any increases or decreases to the contract amount in dollar terms, and note any extensions to the project completion date in calendar days. The surety further confirms that both the performance bond and payment bond associated with the original contract are adjusted accordingly to reflect the changes in contract amount and/or timeline. The document must be executed with an authorized signature and an official seal, with an alternative option for execution by an attorney in fact with attached power of attorney documentation.

The form requires notarization before a Florida notary public in Hillsborough County, with the notary certifying the date of acknowledgment and the identity of the signatory. The document was revised as of March 9, 2020, and serves as a critical compliance instrument for the Northwest Transfer Station Community Collection Center Floor Upgrades project, which involves cast-in-place concrete work estimated at $2,243,136.50 with a 5% Small Business Enterprise (SBE) subcontractor participation goal. This form ensures that surety bonds remain valid and enforceable throughout any contractual modifications undertaken during the project execution.
