About this file
This is a Contractor's Performance Surety Bond template established by the City of Palo Alto, California, for public improvement projects. The bond serves as a guarantee that a contractor (Principal) will faithfully perform the terms and conditions of an agreement with the City to install and complete designated public improvements. The surety, an admitted surety corporation authorized to conduct business in California, becomes jointly and severally liable with the Principal for performance of all work and obligations under the underlying contract. The bond covers the full penal sum amount specified in the agreement and includes provision for liquidated damages, reasonable expenses, and attorney's fees incurred by the City in enforcing the bond's obligations.
The surety waives notice of any changes, extensions, alterations, or additions to the agreement terms, work specifications, or performance requirements, and explicitly waives the provisions of California Civil Code Sections 2845 and 2849. The bond obligates the surety to protect, indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the City, its officers, agents, and employees from all claims and liabilities arising from the Principal's failure to perform. The instrument requires execution by authorized representatives of both the Principal and Surety, with notarization to verify the identities of signatories in accordance with California Civil Code Section 1189.
