2. PAYMENT: The Contractor and the Surety on this Bond hereby agreed to pay all just

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 the Owner 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. The Contractor and Surety hereby bind themselves to the
obligations and conditions set forth in Chapter 573 of the Iowa Code, which by this
reference is made a part hereof as though fully set out herein.
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 Documents within the period of two (2) year(s) from the
date of acceptance of the work under the Contract, by reason of defects in
workmanship, equipment installed, or materials used in construction of said work;
B. To keep all work in continuous good repair; and
C. To pay the Owner's reasonable costs of monitoring and inspection to assure that any
defects are remedied, and to repay the Owner all outlay and expense incurred as a

section.

materials not discovered or known to the Owner at the time such work was accepted.

contrary notwithstanding, to the following provisions:
A. To consent without notice to any extension of time authorized in approved change
orders to the Contractor in which to perform the Contract;
B. To consent without notice to any change in the Contract or Contract Documents,
authorized in approved change orders which thereby increases the total contract price

SECTION 00600
Page 3 of 4
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 that limits to less
than five (5) 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
Owner 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, attorney's
fees (including overhead expenses of the Owner's staff attorneys), and all costs and
expenses of litigation as they are incurred by the Owner. It is intended the Contractor
and Surety will defend and indemnify the Owner on all claims made against the
Owner 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 Owner 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 instance as required.
In the event the Owner incurs any "outlay and expense" in defending itself against 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 Owner whole for all such outlay and expense,
provided that the Surety's obligation under this Bond shall not exceed one hundred twenty-five
percent (125%) of the penal sum of this Bond.
In the event that any actions or proceedings are initiated regarding this Bond, the parties agree that
the venue thereof shall be Dubuque County, State of Iowa. If legal action is required by the Owner
to enforce the provisions of this Bond or to collect the monetary obligation incurring to the benefit of
the Owner, the Contractor and the Surety agree, jointly, and severally, to pay the Owner all outlay
and expense incurred therefor by the Owner. All rights, powers, and remedies of the Owner
hereunder shall be cumulative and not alternative and shall be in addition to all rights, powers, and
remedies given to the Owner, by law. The Owner may proceed against surety for any amount
guaranteed hereunder whether action is brought against the Contractor or whether Contractor is
joined in any Such action(s) or not.
SECTION 00600

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.

Contract, or Contract Documents, it shall be interpreted or construed as defined in applicable

CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE AND AGREED COSTS OF DELAY
SECTION 00800
800.1 SCHEDULE:
CALENDAR DAY SCHEDULE:
Work required by the Contract Documents shall commence within ten (10) calendar
days after Notice to Proceed has been issued and shall be Finally Complete by June
1, 2022.
800.2 AGREED COSTS OF DELAY:
Time is of the essence of the Contract. As delay in the diligent prosecution of the work may
inconvenience the public, obstruct traffic, interfere with business, and/or increase costs to the
City such as engineering, administration, and inspection, it is important that the work be
prosecuted vigorously to final completion.
An extension of the contract period may be granted by the City for any of the following reasons:
1. Additional work resulting from a modification of the Contract Documents by approved
change order.
2. Delays caused by the City.
3. Other reasons beyond the control of the Contractor, which in the City's opinion, would
justify such.
Should the Contractor, or in case of default the Surety, fail to complete the work within the
specified Milestone(s), Substantial and Final Completion Dates, a deduction at the daily rate
for agreed costs of delay will be made for each and every calendar day or working day,
whichever is specified, such that the work remains uncompleted. The Contractor or the
Contractor's Surety shall be responsible for all costs incidental to the completion of the work,
and shall be required to pay the City the following daily costs:
A. For each calendar day that any work remains uncompleted beyond the Substantial
Completion date the contractor will be assessed and shall pay, $400.00 per
calendar day, not as a penalty but as predetermined and Agreed Cost of Delay until
Substantial Completion requirements are met.
Permitting the Contractor to continue and finish the Work, or any part of it, after the expiration
of the Substantial and Final Completion dates or Milestone Dates or extension thereof shall
in no way operate as a waiver on the part of the City of any of its rights or remedies under the
contract, including its right to Agreed Cost of Delay pursuant to this provision. Furthermore,
the assessment of Agreed Cost of Delay shall not constitute a waiver of the City's right to
collect any additional damages which the City may sustain by failure of the Contractor to carry
out the terms of the Contract.
SECTION 00800
Page 5 of 1
The Agreed Cost of Delay rates specified in the Contract Documents is hereby agreed upon as
the true and actual damages due the City for loss to the City and to the public due to obstruction
of traffic, interference with business, and/or increased costs to the City such as engineering,
administration, construction, and inspection after the expiration of the contract times, or
extension thereof. Such Agreed Cost of Delay will be separately invoiced to the Contractor, and
final payment will be withheld from the Contractor until payment has been made of this invoice
for the agreed cost of delay. The Contractor and its surety shall be liable for any agreed cost of
delay in excess of the amount due the Contractor.
