About this file

This document contains three standard bond templates used by the City of Royal Oak, Michigan for contract performance and labor protection. The templates include a Performance, Maintenance and Guarantee Bond (BD 1), which requires contractors to fulfill all contract obligations and maintain completed work for one year from the final estimate date, addressing defects arising from improper materials, defective equipment, or poor workmanship; a Labor and Material Bond (BD 2), which ensures payment to all subcontractors and suppliers for labor and materials provided in connection with the work; and supporting documentation reviewed by the City Attorney. These bonds are generic forms designed to protect the City from liability, ensure proper completion of contracted work, and guarantee payment to workers and material suppliers involved in municipal improvement projects.

The bond documents establish that contractors and their sureties are jointly and severally liable to the City for the full contract amount. The Performance Bond requires the contractor to maintain work in good repair for one year following final estimate, with the City authorized to conduct repairs at the contractor's expense if defects are not corrected within one week of written notice. The Labor and Material Bond is issued in compliance with Michigan Public Act 187 (1905) and subsequent amendments, ensuring that all subcontractors and suppliers receive payment for work performed and materials furnished. The documents are executed with corporate seals and require City Attorney approval as to form. These bond templates apply to the 2026 Catalpa Drive Resurfacing Improvements project (Contract CAP2607), for which the City of Royal Oak is soliciting bids with a submission deadline of 12:00 pm on Thursday, February 5, 2026.
