About this file
This is a Construction Management at Risk (CMaR) agreement and bonding document issued by the City of Sanford, Florida for construction projects. The document serves as a template contract incorporating AIA Document A312-2010 Payment and Performance Bonds, establishing the framework for CMaR services where the contractor provides construction management, planning, and execution services. The contract applies to projects with construction costs not exceeding $6,000,000 and professional service fees not exceeding $500,000, pursuant to Florida Statute 287.055(2)(g). The contract outlines the contractor's responsibilities for furnishing all labor, materials, equipment, and services necessary to complete the work in accordance with contract documents, drawings, and specifications prepared by the design professional. No specific response date, due date, site visit requirements, or bidder's conference details are identified in this template document, as it represents the standard contractual framework rather than a specific project solicitation.
The contract establishes a lump sum or unit price payment structure, with the contractor warranting ability to perform work for the stated contract price and accepting all costs exceeding that amount. The contractor must submit notarized applications for payment monthly based on a schedule of values, with the design professional certifying amounts due. The City retains five percent retainage on each progress payment, and final payment is withheld until all work, punch list items, and required documentation are completed. The contractor must obtain performance and payment bonds equal to 100 percent of the contract price from a surety authorized in Florida with an A.M. Best rating of A- and Financial Size Category XI, with bond costs included in the contract price at actual cost. The contractor is responsible for all permits, licensing, inspections, insurance requirements including commercial general liability and builder's risk coverage naming the City as additional insured, and compliance with Florida's Local Government Prompt Payment Act. The contract includes comprehensive provisions for contractor warranties, subcontractor management, schedule compliance with liquidated damages for delays, correction of defective work, termination for cause or convenience, indemnification, and compliance with Florida statutes regarding public entity crimes, scrutinized companies, E-Verify requirements, and public records laws.

§ 1 The Contractor and Surety, jointly and severally, bind themselves, their heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns to the Owner to pay for labor, materials and equipment furnished for use in the performance of the Construction Contract, which is incorporated herein by reference, subject to the following terms.
§ 2 If the Contractor promptly makes payment of all sums due to Claimants, and defends, indemnifies and holds harmless the Owner from claims, demands, liens or suits by any person or entity seeking payment for labor, materials or equipment furnished for use in the performance of the Construction Contract, then the Surety and the Contractor shall have no obligation under this Bond.
§ 3 If there is no Owner Default under the Construction Contract, the Surety’s obligation to the Owner under this Bond shall arise after the Owner has promptly notified the Contractor and the Surety (at the address described in Section 13) of claims, demands, liens or suits against the Owner or the Owner’s property by any person or entity seeking payment for labor, materials or equipment furnished for use in the performance of the Construction Contract and tendered defense of such claims, demands, liens or suits to the Contractor and the Surety.
§ 4 When the Owner has satisfied the conditions in Section 3, the Surety shall promptly and at the Surety’s expense defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Owner against a duly tendered claim, demand, lien or suit.
§ 5 The Surety’s obligations to a Claimant under this Bond shall arise after the following:
§ 5.1 Claimants, who do not have a direct contract with the Contractor, .1 have furnished a written notice of non-payment to the Contractor, stating with substantial accuracy the amount claimed and the name of the party to whom the materials were, or equipment was, furnished or supplied or for whom the labor was done or performed, within ninety (90) days after having last performed labor or last furnished materials or equipment included in the Claim; and
.2 have sent a Claim to the Surety (at the address described in Section 13).
§ 5.2 Claimants, who are employed by or have a direct contract with the Contractor, have sent a Claim to the Surety (at the address described in Section 13).
§ 6 If a notice of non-payment required by Section 5.1.1 is given by the Owner to the Contractor, that is sufficient to satisfy a Claimant’s obligation to furnish a written notice of non-payment under Section 5.1.1.
§ 7 When a Claimant has satisfied the conditions of Sections 5.1 or 5.2, whichever is applicable, the Surety shall promptly and at the Surety’s expense take the following actions:
§ 7.1 Send an answer to the Claimant, with a copy to the Owner, within sixty (60) days after receipt of the Claim, stating the amounts that are undisputed and the basis for challenging any amounts that are disputed; and
§ 7.2 Pay or arrange for payment of any undisputed amounts.
§ 7.3 The Surety’s failure to discharge its obligations under Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of defenses the Surety or Contractor may have or acquire as to a Claim, except as to undisputed amounts for which the Surety and Claimant have reached agreement. If, however, the Surety fails to discharge its obligations under Section 7.1 or Section 7.2, the Surety shall indemnify the Claimant for the reasonable attorney’s fees the Claimant incurs thereafter to recover any sums found to be due and owing to the Claimant.
§ 8 The Surety’s total obligation shall not exceed the amount of this Bond, plus the amount of reasonable attorney’s fees provided under Section 7.3, and the amount of this Bond shall be credited for any payments made in good faith by the Surety.
§ 9 Amounts owed by the Owner to the Contractor under the Construction Contract shall be used for the performance of the Construction Contract and to satisfy claims, if any, under any construction performance bond. By the Contractor furnishing and the Owner accepting this Bond, they agree that all funds earned by the Contractor in the performance of the Construction Contract are dedicated to satisfy obligations of the Contractor and Surety under this Bond, subject to the Owner’s priority to use the funds for the completion of the work.
