About this file
The document is a Performance Bond for the Town of Manchester, Connecticut, related to the Streetlight Maintenance Services contract (Bid No. 23/24-31). The performance bond is a legally binding document that guarantees the principal (contractor) will faithfully perform the contract and pay prevailing wages to workers. If the principal defaults, the surety (bonding company) is obligated to either complete the contract or arrange for its completion, ensuring the town is protected financially up to the bond's specified amount.
The performance bond outlines specific conditions, including the surety's responsibilities if the principal fails to meet contract obligations. Key provisions include the surety's ability to remedy the default by either completing the contract themselves or obtaining new bids to finish the work. The bond also stipulates that no right of action can accrue to any party other than the Town of Manchester or its successors, limiting third-party claims. The document is designed to provide financial security and ensure the successful completion of the streetlight maintenance services project, protecting the town's interests throughout the contract's duration.

KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS:
THAT ___________________________________________________________as Principal, Hereinafter called "PRINCIPAL," and _______________________________
________________________ as Surety, hereinafter called "SURETY," are held and firmly bound unto the Town of Manchester, Connecticut, as Obligee, hereinafter called "TOWN," in the amount of
Dollars, ($ ), for the payment whereof PRINCIPAL and SURETY bind themselves, their heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, jointly and severally, firmly by these presents.
WHEREAS, PRINCIPAL has by written Contract dated ______________________ entered into a Contract with TOWN for _____________________________________________________________ which Contract is by reference made a part hereof, and is hereinafter referred to as the
"CONTRACT."
NOW, THEREFORE, the condition of this obligation is such that, if PRINCIPAL shall promptly and faithfully perform said CONTRACT, and shall certify in writing that all wages paid under said
CONTRACT to any mechanic, laborer or workman were equal to the rates of wages customary or then prevailing for the same trade or occupation in the Town of Manchester, then this obligation shall be null and void, otherwise it shall remain in full force and effect.
Whenever PRINCIPAL shall be, and declared by the TOWN to be in default under the
CONTRACT, the TOWN having performed its obligations thereunder, the SURETY may promptly remedy the default, or shall promptly:
1. Complete the CONTRACT in accordance with its terms and conditions; or
2. Obtain a bid or bids for submission to the TOWN for completing the CONTRACT in accordance with its terms and conditions, and upon determination by the TOWN and SURETY of the lowest possible bidder, arrange for a CONTRACT between such bidder and the TOWN, and make available as work progresses (even though there should be a default or a succession of defaults under the CONTRACT or Contracts of completion arranged under this paragraph) sufficient funds to pay the cost of completion less the balance of the Contract Price; but not exceeding, including other costs and damages for which the SURETY may be liable hereunder, the amount set forth in the first paragraph hereof. The term, "Balance of the Contract Price," as used in this paragraph, shall mean the total amount payable by the TOWN to PRINCIPAL under the
CONTRACT and any amendments thereto, less the amount properly paid by the TOWN to the
PRINCIPAL.
No right of action shall accrue on this bond to or for the use of any person or corporation other than the
TOWN named herein or the heirs, executors, administrators or successors of TOWN.
