About this file

This is a Contractor's Performance Surety Bond template for the City of Palo Alto, California, establishing the bonding requirements for contractors performing public improvement work. The bond serves as a security instrument guaranteeing that the principal contractor will faithfully perform and complete the designated public improvements in accordance with the agreement terms and specifications. The bond requires the contractor to provide a surety company authorized to conduct business in California and establishes a penal sum amount (to be specified) that secures the contractor's obligations. The document outlines that the contractor must promptly and faithfully perform all covenants, conditions, and provisions of the associated agreement, satisfy all claims and demands, and fully protect and indemnify the City from liabilities arising from performance failures.

The surety bond obligates the surety company to cover any liquidated damages for which the principal may be liable under the City agreement, with the bond amount covering these damages in addition to the face amount specified. The surety waives notice of any changes, extensions of time, alterations, or additions to the agreement terms and specifications, and explicitly waives California Civil Code Sections 2845 and 2849. The bond includes provisions for the City to recover costs, reasonable expenses, and attorney's fees incurred in enforcing the bond obligations, which shall be taxed as costs in any judgment rendered. The bond requires execution by both the contractor and surety representatives with notarization, establishing the City as the principal beneficiary with full rights under the bond agreement. This template applies to the REBID LSCC Window Covering Upgrade Project, which involves removal and installation of window drapery, roman shades, and roller shades across 25 windows and 8 door glass openings.
