6-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 of an existing contract between a contractor (principal) and Hillsborough County. The form accommodates changes to the contract amount, which may increase or decrease the total value, and allows for extensions to the completion date measured in calendar days. The surety acknowledges that performance bonds and payment bonds previously furnished under the original contract are adjusted accordingly to reflect the changes documented in the specific change order being executed. The document requires authorization through either a direct authorized signature or through an attorney in fact with attached power of attorney, and must be notarized in Florida before a notary public with either personal knowledge of the signatory or identification produced.

This form is a standard administrative document with no pricing information, set-asides, or specific funding terms contained within it. The form itself is a procedural requirement for change orders on Hillsborough County construction contracts and does not establish contract terms. Based on the related contract opportunity, this form would apply to the Stormwater CRRP Construction WORCS Contract for culvert repair and replacement work throughout Hillsborough County, estimated at $18,258,390.04, with work assignments issued on an as-needed basis by the County.
