including but not limited to claims for all amounts due for labor, materials, lubricants, oil,

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

by law. The Contractor and Surety hereby bind themselves to the obligations and conditions

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.

SECTION 00600
Page 3 of 4
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 lowa. 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.
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 used 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
lowa Code; third, if not defined in the lowa Code, it shall be interpreted or construed according to its
SECTION 00600
Page4of4
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.
