<br />H. Within fifteen (15) calendar days of the date of the Notice of Award of the Contract, the

<br />Failure upon the part of the Bidder to whom the Contract has been awarded to execute
<br />and deliver the Contract Payment and Performance Bonds and required insurance in the
<br />manner and within the time provided shall be just cause for cancellation of the award. It is
<br />understood and agreed by said Bidder, that if the award is cancelled for the above
<br />persons, the certified check or Bid Bond shall become the property of the Owner, not as a
<br />penalty, but as liquidated damages.

<br />The successful Bidder as Contractor shall furnish the County immediately upon execution of the
<br />Contract a Performance Bond in an amount equal to 100 percent of the contract price and a
<br />Payment Bond in an amount equal to 100 percent of the contract price, each in the form provided
<br />in the Contract Documents. The Surety shall be authorized to issue surety bonds in Florida and be
<br />included in the most recent United States Department of Treasury List of Acceptable Sureties.
<br />The successful Bidder shall require the attorney-in-fact, who executed the Payment Bond and the
<br />Performance Bond, to affix to each a current certified copy of their Power of Attorney, reflecting
<br />such person's authority as Power of Attorney in the State of Florida. Further, at the time of
<br />execution of the Contract, the successful Bidder shall provide a copy of the Surety's current valid
<br />Certificate of Authority issued by the United States Department of the Treasury under 31 United
<br />States Code sections 9304-9308. The Contractor shall provide two separate bonds; a combined

<br />substitute.
