About this file
This is a Labor and Materials Bond sample document applicable to state and local public works contracts in Alabama, specifically referenced for the City of Orange Beach's Tennis Court Resurfacing and Cabana Installation project. The bond template establishes a penal sum guarantee between a Principal (contractor), Surety (bonding company), and Obligee (City of Orange Beach) to ensure prompt payment to all labor, materials, and supplies vendors involved in the contract work. The bond covers the complete resurfacing of eight tennis courts using the Acrytech Acrylic Surface System and installation of four cabanas, with work completion required by August 7, 2026. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for March 16, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. at City Hall, with bid submissions due April 2, 2026 at 11:30 a.m. through the City's eProcurement Portal. The contractor must demonstrate a minimum of ten years' experience in court construction and resurfacing with at least fifteen major court projects completed within the past five years, maintain American Sports Builders Association Certified Tennis Court Builder status, and possess an Alabama State General Contractor's License.
The bond is subject to specific conditions and limitations under Alabama law (Act of the Legislature approved February 8, 1935), including a one-year statute of limitations for claims against the bond following final contract settlement. Claimants may pursue direct action against both Principal and Surety in the county where work is performed or where either party conducts business. The Surety's liability is capped at the bond's penal sum and excludes damages recoverable under Workers' Compensation or Employer's Liability statutes. Performance and Labor and Materials Payment Bonds equal to 100% and 50% of the contract amount, respectively, are required for winning bids exceeding $50,000. All work must be completed with a one-year guarantee on labor, materials, and workmanship from final billing, and liquidated damages of $500 per calendar day apply for delays exceeding thirty days from Notice to Proceed. The contractor must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage including Commercial General Liability of at least $1,000,000 each occurrence and $2,000,000 annual aggregate, Business Automobile Liability of $1,000,000 each occurrence, Worker's Compensation as required by Alabama law, and Commercial Umbrella/Excess Liability of at least $1,000,000 each occurrence and aggregate.
