6-Consent of Surety to Final Payment.pdf.pdf

This is a Consent of Surety to Final Payment form used by the Board of County Commissioners of Hillsborough County, Florida. The document serves as a template for surety approval of final payment to contractors upon completion of construction projects. The form requires the surety to acknowledge and consent to the owner's final payment to the contractor while explicitly confirming that such payment does not relieve the surety of any obligations under the associated Performance and Payment Bond. The document must be notarized in Florida and executed by authorized representatives of the surety, including an authorized signature and, if applicable, an attorney-in-fact signature with attached power of attorney documentation.

In the context of the Public Defender First Floor Security Lobby project, this form would be executed upon project completion. The project, valued at approximately $823,000.00, involves construction of approximately 2,910 square feet of interior space at the Southeast area of the first floor of 700 E. Twiggs Street, Tampa, Florida. The work includes expansion of the lobby area, installation of new storefront at the elevator lobby, new offices, a security room, expansion of existing offices, and related demolition. The contract includes a Small Business Enterprise (SBE) subcontractor participation goal of 10%. This consent form ensures that the surety's Performance and Payment Bond remains in effect even after final payment is issued to the contractor, protecting the owner against any subsequent claims or deficiencies.
