PERFORMANCE, PAYMENT, AND MAINTENANCE BOND
KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS: That we, the undersigned,
_____________________________________ as Principal (hereinafter called “Contractor” or
“Principal”), and ______________________________, as Surety are held and firmly bound unto
Casper/Natrona County International Airport, Wyoming, as Obligee, (hereinafter called “Jurisdiction”)
and to all persons who may be injured by any breath of any of the conditions of this Bond in the
penal sum of ___________________________________________________Dollars ($_________),
lawful money of the United States, for the payment of which sum, well and truly to be made, we bind
ourselves, our heirs, legal representatives and assigns, jointly or severally, firmly by these presents.
The conditions of the above obligations are such that whereas said Contractor entered into a
contract with the Jurisdiction, bearing the date of ___________, 2008, (hereinafter the “Contract”)
wherein said Contractor undertakes and agrees to construct the following described improvements:
Design, Manufacture, and Deliver a New Class 4 1,500 Gallon Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting
Vehicle, and to faithfully perform all the terms and requirements of said Contract within the time
therein specified, in a good and workmanlike manner, and in accordance with the Contract
Documents.
It is expressly understood and agreed by the Contractor and Surety in this bond that the following
provisions are a part of this Bond and are binding upon said Contractor and Surety, to-wit:
1. PERFORMANCE: The Contractor shall well and faithfully observe, perform, fulfill, and abide by
each and every covenant, condition, and part of said Contract and Contract Documents, by
reference made a part hereof, for the above referenced improvements, and shall indemnify and
save harmless the Jurisdiction from all outlay and expense incurred by the Jurisdiction by reason
of the Contractor’s default of failure to perform as required. The Contractor shall also be
responsible for the default or failure to perform as required under the Contract and Contract
Documents by all its subcontractors, suppliers, agents, or employees furnishing materials or
providing labor in the performance of the Contract.
2. PAYMENT: The Contractor and the Surety on this Bond hereby agree to pay all just claims
submitted by persons, firms, subcontractors, and corporations furnishing materials for or
performing labor in the performance of the Contract on account of which this Bond is given,
including but not limited to claims for all amounts due for labor, materials, lubricants, oil,
gasoline, repairs on machinery, equipment, and tools, consumed or used by the Contractor or any
subcontractor, wherein the same are not satisfied out of the portion of the contract price which
the Jurisdiction is required to retain until completion of the improvement, but the Contractor and
surety shall not be liable to said persons, firms, or corporations unless the claims of said
claimants against said portion of the contract price shall have been established as provided by
law.
3. MAINTENANCE: The Contractor and the Surety on this Bond hereby agree, at their own expense:
A.
To remedy any and all defects that may develop in or result from work to be performed under
the Contract within the period of:
Warranty - as described in specifications;
B. To keep all work in continuous good repair; and
C. To pay the Jurisdiction’s reasonable costs of monitoring and inspection to assure that any
defects are remedied, and to repay the Jurisdiction all outlay and expense incurred as a
Bid Document – ARFF Vehicle
AIP 3-56-0004-45
result of Contractor’s and Surety’s failure to remedy any defect as required by this section.
Contractor’s and Surety’s agreement herein made extends to defects in workmanship or
materials not discovered or known to the Jurisdiction at the time such work was accepted.
4. GENERAL: Every Surety on this Bond shall be deemed and held bound, any contract to the
contrary notwithstanding, to the following provisions:
A. To consent without notice to any extension of time to the Contractor in which to perform the
Contract;
B. To consent without notice to any change in the Contract or Contract Documents, which
thereby increases the total contract price and the penal sum of this bond, provided that all
such changes do not, in the aggregate, involve an increase of more than twenty-five percent
of the total contract price, and that this bond shall then be released as to such excess
increase; and
C. To consent without notice that this Bond shall remain in full force and effect until the
Contract is completed, whether completed within the specified contract period, within an
extension thereof, or within a period of time after the contract period has elapsed and the
liquidated damage penalty is being charged against the Contractor.
The Contractor and every Surety on the bond shall be deemed and held bound, any contract
to the contrary notwithstanding, to the following provisions:
D. That no provision of this Bond or of any other contract shall be valid which limits to less than
five years after the acceptance of the work under the Contract the right to sue on this Bond.
E. That as used herein, the phrase “all outlay and expense” is not to be limited in any way, but
shall include the actual and reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Jurisdiction
including interest, benefits, and overhead where applicable. Accordingly, “all outlay and
expense” would include but not be limited to all contract or employee expense, all equipment
usage or rental, materials, testing, outside experts, attorneys’ fees (including overhead
expenses of the Jurisdiction’s staff attorneys), and all costs and expenses of litigation as they
are incurred by the Jurisdiction. It is intended that Contractor and Surety will defend and
indemnify the Jurisdiction on all claims made against the Jurisdiction on account of
Contractor’s failure to perform as required in the Contract and Contract Documents, that all
agreements and promises set forth in the Contract and Contract Documents, in approved
change orders, and in this Bond will be fulfilled, and that the Jurisdiction will be fully
indemnified so that it will be put into the position it would have been in had the Contract
been performed in the first stance as required.
In the event the Jurisdiction incurs any “outlay and expense” in defending itself with respect
to any claim as to which the Contractor or Surety should have provided the defense, or in the
enforcement of the promises given by the Contractor in the Contract, Contract Documents, or
approved change orders, or in the enforcement of the promises given by the Contractor and
Surety in this Bond, the Contractor and Surety agree that they will make the Jurisdiction
whole for all such outlay and expense, provided that the Surety’s obligation under this bond
shall not exceed 125% of the penal sum of this bond.
In the event that any actions or proceedings are initiated with respect to this Bond, the
parties agree that the venue thereof shall be Natrona County District Court, State of
Wyoming. If legal action is required by the Jurisdiction to enforce the provisions of this Bond
or to collect the monetary obligation incurring to the benefit of the Jurisdiction, the Contractor
Bid Document – ARFF Vehicle
AIP 3-56-0004-45
and the Surety agree, jointly and severally, to pay the Jurisdiction all outlay and expense
incurred therefore by the Jurisdiction. All rights, powers, and remedies of the Jurisdiction
hereunder shall be cumulative and not alternative and shall be in addition to Surety for any
amount guaranteed hereunder whether action is brought against the Contractor or whether
Contractor is joined in any such action or actions or not.
NOW THEREFORE, the condition of this obligation is such that if said Principal shall faithfully perform
all the promises of the Principal, as set forth and provided in the Contract, in the Contract
Documents, and in this Bond, then this obligation shall be null and void, otherwise it shall remain in
full force and effect.
When a work, term, or phrase is issued in this Bond, it shall be interpreted or construed first as
defined in this Bond, the Contract, or the Contract Documents; second, if not defined in the Bond,
Contract, or Contract Documents, it shall be interpreted or construed as defined in applicable
provisions of the Wyoming Statutes; third, if not defined in the Wyoming Statutes, it shall be
interpreted or construed according to its generally accepted meaning in the construction industry;
and fourth, if it has no generally accepted meaning in the construction industry, it shall be
interpreted or construed according to its common or customary usage.
Failure to specify or particularize shall not exclude terms or provisions not mentioned and shall not
limit liability hereunder. The Contract and Contract Documents are hereby made a part of this Bond.
