About this file
This is a Contractor's Payment Surety Bond template issued by the City of Palo Alto, California, for use in securing payment obligations related to public improvement projects. The bond serves as a financial guarantee that the contractor and its subcontractors will pay all laborers, material suppliers, and other claimants for work performed or materials supplied under the associated construction agreement. The bond amount must equal at least 100 percent of the total contract value as required by California Civil Code Section 9554. The bond inures to the benefit of all persons, companies, and corporations entitled to payment under California Civil Code Section 9100, providing them with direct recourse against the surety in the event of non-payment. The document requires execution by both the contractor and an admitted surety authorized to conduct business in California, along with notarization through a Certificate of Acknowledgment.
The bond obligates the surety to pay reasonable attorney's fees if litigation becomes necessary to enforce payment claims. The surety expressly waives the right to receive notice of any amendments, changes, change orders, additions, alterations, or modifications to the underlying agreement or work specifications, and waives the provisions of California Civil Code Sections 2845 and 2849 regarding surety liability. The bond also covers all amounts due under the California Unemployment Insurance Code with respect to the work performed and any wages required to be withheld and paid to the Employment Development Department. This template is applicable to the Adobe Creek Transformer-21 repair project, where the selected contractor must furnish Performance and Payment Surety Bonds equal to 100 percent of the Contract Sum within ten business days of award.
