SECTION 00600
KNOW ALL BY THESE PRESENTS:
That we, Horsfield Construction, Inc.
as
Principal (hereinafter the "Contractor" or "Principal") and United Fire&Casualty Company

or severally, firmly by these presents.
The conditions of the above obligations are such that whereas said Contractor entered into a

Page 2 of 4
Contractors 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.
ti
2. PAYMENT: The Contractor and the Surety on this Bond hereby agreed 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 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
result of Contractor's and Surety's failure to remedy any defect as required by this
section.
II
Contractor's and Surety's Contract herein made extends to defects in workmanship or
materials not discovered or known to the Owner 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 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
and the penal sum of this Bond, provided that all such changes do not, in the
aggregate, involve an increase of more than twenty percent(20%) of the total contract
price, and that this Bond shall then be released as to such excess increase;
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
Page 4 of 4
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 Iowa Code; third, if not defined in the Iowa Code, 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.
