September 30, 20

AGENCY TO WHICH BIDS ARE TO BE SUBMITTED

OBLIGATION:
We, the Principal and Surety(ies), are firmly bound to the United States of America (hereinafter called the Government) in the penal sum or sums that is
sufficient to indemnify the Government in case of the default of the Principal as provided herein. For payment of the penal sum or sums, we bind ourselves, our
heirs, executors, administrators, and successors, jointly and severally.

CONDITIONS:
The Principal contemplates submitting bids from time to time during the fiscal year shown above to the department or agency named above for furnishing
supplies or services to the Government. The Principal desires that all of those bids submitted for opening during the fiscal year be covered by a single bond
instead of by a separate bid bond for each bid.

THEREFORE:
The above obligation is void and of no effect if the Principal - (a) upon acceptance by the Government of any such bid within the period specified therein for
acceptance (sixty (60) days if no period is specified), executes the further contractual documents and gives the bond(s) required by the terms of the bid as
accepted within the time specified (ten (10) days if no period is specified) after receipt of forms by the Principal; or (b) in the event of failure to execute the further
contractual documents and give the bond(s), pays the Government for any cost of acquiring the work which exceeds the amount of the bid.

WITNESS:
The Principal and Surety(ies) executed this bid bond and affixed their seals on the above date.
