1. Bidder and Surety, jointly and severally, bind themselves, their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns to pay to Owner upon default of Bidder the penal sum set forth on the face of this Bond. Payment of the penal sum is the extent of Bidder’s and Surety’s liability. Recovery of such penal sum under the terms of this Bond shall be Owner’s sole and exclusive remedy upon default of Bidder.

Documents and any performance and payment bonds required by the Bidding Documents.

3. This obligation shall be null and void if:

3.2 All Bids are rejected by Owner, or

3.3 Owner fails to issue a Notice of Award to Bidder within the time specified in the Bidding Documents (or any extension thereof agreed to in writing by Bidder and, if applicable, consented to by Surety when required by

5. Surety waives notice of any and all defenses based on or arising out of any time extension to issue Notice of Award agreed to in writing by Owner and Bidder, provided that the total time for issuing Notice of Award including ex-tensions shall not in the aggregate exceed 120 days from the Bid due date without Surety’s written consent.

1. The Contractor and Surety, jointly and severally, bind themselves, their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns to the Owner for the performance of the Construction Contract, which is incorporated herein by reference.

2. If the Contractor performs the Construction Contract, the Surety and the Contractor shall have no obligation under this Bond, ex-cept when applicable to participate in a conference as provided in

Paragraph 3.

3. If there is no Owner Default under the Construction Contract, the

Surety’s obligation under this Bond shall arise after:

3.1 The Owner first provides notice to the Contractor and the

Surety that the Owner is considering declaring a Contractor De-fault. Such notice shall indicate whether the Owner is requesting a conference among the Owner, Contractor, and Surety to dis-cuss the Contractor’s performance. If the Owner does not re-quest a conference, the Surety may, within five (5) business days after receipt of the Owner’s notice, request such a conference. If the Surety timely requests a conference, the Owner shall attend.

Unless the Owner agrees otherwise, any conference requested under this Paragraph 3.1 shall be held within ten (10) business days of the Surety’s receipt of the Owner’s notice. If the Owner, the Contractor, and the Surety agree, the Contractor shall be al-lowed a reasonable time to perform the Construction Contract, but such an agreement shall not waive the Owner’s right, if any, subsequently to declare a Contractor Default;

3.2 The Owner declares a Contractor Default, terminates the

Construction Contract and notifies the Surety; and

3.3 The Owner has agreed to pay the Balance of the Contract

Price in accordance with the terms of the Construction Contract to the Surety or to a contractor selected to perform the Con-struction Contract.

4. Failure on the part of the Owner to comply with the notice re-quirement in Paragraph 3.1 shall not constitute a failure to com-ply with a condition precedent to the Surety’s obligations, or release the Surety from its obligations, except to the extent the

Surety demonstrates actual prejudice.

5. When the Owner has satisfied the conditions of Paragraph 3, the

Surety shall promptly and at the Surety’s expense take one of the following actions:

5.1 Arrange for the Contractor, with the consent of the Own-

er, to perform and complete the Construction Contract;

5.2 Undertake to perform and complete the Construction

Contract itself, through its agents or independent contractors;

5.3 Obtain bids or negotiated proposals from qualified con-

tractors acceptable to the Owner for a contract for performance and completion of the Construction Contract, arrange for a con-tract to be prepared for execution by the Owner and a contrac-tor selected with the Owners concurrence, to be secured with performance and payment bonds executed by a qualified surety equivalent to the bonds issued on the Construction Contract, and pay to the Owner the amount of damages as described in Para-graph 7 in excess of the Balance of the Contract Price incurred by the Owner as a result of the Contractor Default; or

5.4 Waive its right to perform and complete, arrange for

completion, or obtain a new contractor, and with reasonable promptness under the circumstances:

5.4.1 After investigation, determine the amount for which it

may be liable to the Owner and, as soon as practicable after the amount is determined, make payment to the Owner; or

5.4.2 Deny liability in whole or in part and notify the Owner, citing the reasons for denial.

6. If the Surety does not proceed as provided in Paragraph 5 with reasonable promptness, the Surety shall be deemed to be in de-fault on this Bond seven days after receipt of an additional writ-ten notice from the Owner to the Surety demanding that the

Surety perform its obligations under this Bond, and the Owner shall be entitled to enforce any remedy available to the Owner. If the Surety proceeds as provided in Paragraph 5.4, and the Owner refuses the payment or the Surety has denied liability, in whole or in part, without further notice the Owner shall be entitled to enforce any remedy available to the Owner.

7. If the Surety elects to act under Paragraph 5.1, 5.2, or 5.3, then the responsibilities of the Surety to the Owner shall not be great- er than those of the Contractor under the Construction Contract, and the responsibilities of the Owner to the Surety shall not be greater than those of the Owner under the Construction Con- tract.

Subject to the commitment by the Owner to pay the Balance of the Contract Price, the Surety is obligated, without duplication for:

7.1 the responsibilities of the Contractor for correction of de-fective work and completion of the Construction Contract;

7.2 additional legal, design professional, and delay costs re-sulting from the Contractor’s Default, and resulting from the ac-tions or failure to act of the Surety under Paragraph 5; and

7.3 liquidated damages, or if no liquidated damages are speci-fied in the Construction Contract, actual damages caused by de-layed performance or non-performance of the Contractor.

8. If the Surety elects to act under Paragraph 5.1, 5.3, or 5.4, the

Surety’s liability is limited to the amount of this Bond.

9. The Surety shall not be liable to the Owner or others for obliga-tions of the Contractor that are unrelated to the Construction

Contract, and the Balance of the Contract Price shall not be re-duced or set off on account of any such unrelated obligations. No right of action shall accrue on this Bond to any person or entity other than the Owner or its heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns.

14. Definitions

14.1 Balance of the Contract Price: The total amount payable by the Owner to the Contractor under the Construction Contract after all proper adjustments have been made including allow-ance for the Contractor for any amounts received or to be re-ceived by the Owner in settlement of insurance or other claims for damages to which the Contractor is entitled, reduced by all valid and proper payments made to or on behalf of the Contrac-tor under the Construction Contract.

10. The Surety hereby waives notice of any change, including changes of time, to the Construction Contract or to related subcontracts, purchase orders, and other obligations.

11. Any proceeding, legal or equitable, under this Bond may be insti-tuted in any court of competent jurisdiction in the location in which the work or part of the work is located and shall be insti-tuted within two years after a declaration of Contractor Default or within two years after the Contractor ceased working or within two years after the Surety refuses or fails to perform its obliga-tions under this Bond, whichever occurs first. If the provisions of this paragraph are void or prohibited by law, the minimum peri-ods of limitations available to sureties as a defense in the juris-diction of the suit shall be applicable.

12. Notice to the Surety, the Owner, or the Contractor shall be mailed or delivered to the address shown on the page on which their signature appears.

13. When this Bond has been furnished to comply with a statutory or other legal requirement in the location where the construction was to be performed, any provision in this Bond conflicting with said statutory or legal requirement shall be deemed deleted herefrom and provisions conforming to such statutory or other legal requirement shall be deemed incorporated herein. When so furnished, the intent is that this Bond shall be construed as a statutory bond and not as a common law bond.

er and Contractor identified on the cover page, including all Con-tract Documents and changes made to the agreement and the
