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 form serves as a formal acknowledgment by a surety company that it consents to modifications of an existing contract between the county and a contractor. The document allows the surety to recognize changes to the contract amount (either increases or decreases) and extensions to the completion date, with corresponding adjustments to both performance and payment bonds. The form requires authorized signature by the surety, notarization by a Florida notary public in Hillsborough County, and includes spaces for the specific change order number, dollar amount of adjustment, calendar days of time extension, and execution date.

The Consent of Surety form would be utilized when change orders are issued during the contract performance period to ensure the surety's bond coverage remains adequate for any modifications to scope, cost, or schedule.
