EXHIBIT B
CITY OF FEDERAL WAY
PERFORMANCEIMAINTENANCE BOND
KNOW ALL PEOPLE BY THESE PRESENTS:
We, the undersigned , ( "Principal ")
and , the undersigned corporation
organized and existing under the laws of the State of and legally doing business
in the State of Washington as a surety ( "Surety "), are held and firmly bound unto the City of Federal
Way, a Washington municipal corporation, ( "City ") in the penal sum of Dollars
and No /100 ($ ) for the payment of which we firmly bind ourselves and our
legal representatives, heirs, successors and assigns, jointly and severally.
This obligation is entered into pursuant to the statutes of the State of Washington and the ordinances,
regulations, standards and policies of the City, as now existing or hereafter amended or adopted.
The Principal has entered into an Agreement with the City dated , 20_, for
NOW, THEREFORE, if the Principal shall perform all the provisions of the Agreement in the
manner and within the time period prescribed by the City, or within such extensions of time as may
be granted under the Agreement, and shall pay all laborers, mechanics, subcontractors and material
men or women, and all persons who shall supply the Principal or subcontractors with provisions and
supplies for the carrying on of said work, and shall hold the City, their officials, agents, employees
and volunteers harmless from any loss or damage occasioned to any person or property by reason of
any carelessness or negligence on the part of the Principal, or any subcontractor in the performance
of said work, and shall indemnify and hold the City harmless from any damage or expense by reason
of failure of performance as specified in the Agreement, or from defects appearing or developing in
the material or workmanship provided or performed under the Agreement within a period of two (2)
years after its final acceptance thereof by the City, then and in the event this obligation shall be void;
but otherwise, it shall be and remain in full force and effect.
And the Surety, for value received, hereby further stipulates and agrees that no change, extension of
time, alteration or addition to the terms of the Agreement or to the work to be performed thereunder
or the specifications accompanying the same shall in any way affect its obligation on this bond, and it
does hereby waive notice of any change, extension of time, alterations or additions to the terms of the
Agreement or to the Work.
The Surety hereby agrees that modifications and changes may be made in the terms and provisions of
the Agreement without notice to Surety, and any such modifications or changes increasing the total
amount to be paid the Principal shall automatically increase the obligation of the Surety on this
Performance Bond in a like amount, such increase, however, not to exceed twenty -five percent
(25 %) of the original amount of this bond without the consent of the Surety.
Ordinance No. 15 -800 Page 36 of 38
Within forty -five (45) days of receiving notice that the Principal has defaulted on all or part of the
terms of the Agreement, the Surety shall make a written commitment to the City that it will either:
(a) cure the default itself within a reasonable time period, or (b) tender to the City, the amount
necessary for the City to remedy the default, including legal fees incurred by the City, or (c) in the
event that Surety's evaluation of the dispute is not complete or in the event the Surety disputes the
City's claim of default, the Surety shall notify the City of its finding and its intent, if any, to
interplead. The Surety shall then fulfill its obligations under this bond, according to the option it has
elected. Should Surety elect option (a) to cure the default, the penal sum of the Bond shall be reduced
in an amount equal to the costs actually incurred by the Surety in curing the default. If the Surety
elects option (b), then upon completion of the necessary work, the City shall notify the Surety of its
actual costs. The City shall return, without interest, any overpayment made by the Surety and the
Surety shall pay to the City any actual costs which exceed the City estimate, limited to the bond
amount. Should the Surety elect option (c), the Parties shall first complete participation in mediation,
described in the below paragraph, prior to any interplead action.
In the event a dispute should arise between the Parties to this Bond with respect to the City's
declaration of default by the Principal, the Parties agree to participate in at least four hours of
mediation in accordance with the mediation procedures of United States Arbitration and Mediation
( "USA &M "). The Parties shall proportionately share in the cost of the mediation. The mediation
shall be administered by the Seattle USA &M office, 4300 Two Union Square, 601 Union Street,
Seattle, Washington 98101 -2327. The Surety shall not interplead prior to completion of the
mediation.
DATED this _ day of , 20_.
