TITLE
Lift Station SCADA Improvements Contract with Hydra Service
SUMMARY
S C A D A stands for S upervisory Control and D ata A cquisi on. I t is a computer-based
control system architecture that uses so!ware, hardware, networked communica ons,
and graphical user interfaces (G U I s) to allow operators to monitor, supervise, and
control industrial processes and equipment in real me. A li! sta on remote terminal
unit (R T U ) is a rugged, microprocessor-controlled device installed at a wastewater li!
sta on. T he R T U serves as the “eyes, ears, and hands” at the remote site: it connects
directly to field sensors and actuators to collect real- me data, perform local logic or
control if needed, and transmit that informa on to a central system. I t can also receive
commands from the central system and execute them locally. S C A D A is the overarching
supervisory pla0orm that es the R T U s together into a unified, remotely manageable
system. This combina on is standard in modern wastewater u li es for reliable, cost-
effective operation of lift stations.

C ontractor shall be responsible for comple ng the detailed system design, providing a
pre-configured and pre-packaged L S R T U solu on, and all other work as outlined in the
scope of work. D ue to the highly restricted nature of the City's wastewater
communica on system and related cybersecurity protocols established by the
D epartment of Homeland S ecurity, all R T U and S C A D A hardware and so!ware
specifica ons were kept confiden al. P roposers were required to sign non-disclosure
agreements (N D A 's) prior to receiving this informa on and then confiden ally submit
their 'Proposed Solution' for Selection Committee review.

WHEREAS, this bond is being entered into to satisfy the requirements of Section 255.05(1), Florida Statutes and the
Contract referenced above, as the same may be amended, and additionally, to provide common law rights more expansive
than as required by statute.
NOW THEREFORE, the Surety and the Principal, both joint and severally, and for themselves, their heirs, administrators,
executors, successors and assigns agree as follows:
1. CONTRACT INCORPORATED; SURETY AND PRINCIPAL BOUND FOR FULL PERFORMANCE. The Contract is
incorporated by reference and made a part of this bond. The Surety and the Principal are bound for the full
performance of the Contract including without exception all of the Contract Documents (as defined in the Contract)
and all of their terms and conditions, both express and implied. Without limiting the Principal’s and Surety’s
obligations under the Contract and this bond, the Principal and Surety agree:
A. Promptly and faithfully perform their duties and all the covenants, terms, conditions, and obligations under the
Contract including, but not limited to the insurance provisions, guaranty period and the warranty provisions, in
the time and manner prescribed in the Agreement, and
B. Pay OWNER all losses, damages, delay damages (liquidated or actual), expenses, costs and attorneys’ fees under
section 627.756, Florida Statutes, including costs and attorney’s fees on appeal that OWNER sustains resulting
directly or indirectly from any breach or default by Principal under the Contract, and
C. Satisfy all claims and demands incurred under the Contract, and fully indemnify and hold harmless the OWNER
from all costs and damages which it may suffer by reason or failure to do so.
2. OWNER’S AFFIDAVIT OF CONTRACTOR BREACH OR DEFAULT. If the OWNER shall provide to Surety the written
affidavit of the OWNER stating that the Principal is in breach or default of the Contract, and that such breach or default
remains uncured by the Principal, then upon delivery of such affidavit to the Surety in the method for providing notices

permitted in Paragraph 3.
2. SURETY’S OBLIGATION UPON DELIVERY OF OWNER’S AFFIDAVIT OF CONTRACTOR’S BREACH OR DEFAULT.
Upon the delivery of the OWNER’s affidavit of breach or default by the Principal as provided in Paragraph 2 above,
the Surety may promptly remedy the breach or default or must, within ten (10) days, proceed to take one of the
following courses of action:
A. Proceed Itself. Complete performance of the Contract including correction of defective and nonconforming Work
through its own CONTRACTORs or employees, approved as being acceptable to the OWNER, in the OWNER’s sole
discretion, provided, however, that OWNER’s discretion in approving the Surety’s CONTRACTOR will not be
369
RFP: 03-26-01 CS Lift Station SCADA Improvements 40
unreasonably withheld as to any CONTRACTOR who would have qualified to offer a proposal on the Contract and
is not affiliated in any way with the Principal. During this performance by the Surety, the OWNER will pay the
Surety from its own funds only those sums as would have been due and payable to the Principal under the Contract
as and when they would have been due and payable to the Principal in the absence of the breach or default not
to exceed the amount of the remaining Contract balance less any sums due the OWNER under the Contract.
During this performance by Surety, any payment bond required under the Contract must remain in full force and
effect; or

the tendered contract shall be in OWNER’s sole and absolute discretion. Upon execution by the OWNER of the
contract for fulfillment and completion of the Contract, the completing CONTRACTOR must furnish to the OWNER
a performance bond and a separate payment bond, each in the form of those bonds previously furnished to the
OWNER for the Project by the Principal. Each such bond must be in the Penal Sum of the full cost to complete the
Contract. The OWNER will pay the completing CONTRACTOR from its own funds only those sums as would have
been due and payable to the Principal under the Contract as and when they would have been due and payable to
the Principal in the absence of the breach or default not to exceed the amount of the remaining Contract balance
less any sums due the OWNER under the Contract. To the extent that the OWNER is obligated to pay the
completing CONTRACTOR sums which would not have been due and payable to CONTRACTOR under the Contract
(any sums in excess of the then remaining Contract balance less any sums due the OWNER under the Contract),
the Surety must pay the OWNER the full amount of those sums at the time the completing CONTRACTOR tenders
an invoice to the OWNER so that the OWNER can utilize those sums in making timely payment to the completing
CONTRACTOR; or
C. Tender the Full Penal Sum. Tender to the OWNER the full Penal Sum of the performance bond. The OWNER will
refund to the Surety without interest any unused portion not spent by the OWNER procuring and paying a
completing CONTRACTOR or completing the Contract itself, plus the cost allowed under Section 4, after
completion of the contract for fulfillment and completion of the Contract and the expiration of any applicable
warranties; or
D. Other Acts. Take any other acts mutually agreed upon in writing by the OWNER and the Surety.
E. IT SHALL BE NO DEFENSE TO SURETY’S OBLIGATION TO UNDERTAKE ONE OF THE PRECEDING COURSES OF
ACTION THAT THE PRINCIPAL CONTENDS THAT IT IS NOT IN BREACH OR DEFAULT OF THE CONTRACT, OR THAT
THE NOTICE OF BREACH OR DEFAULT WAS DEFECTIVE, OR THAT THE PRINCIPAL HAS RAISED ANY OTHER CLAIM
OF DEFENSE OR OFFSET, PROVIDED ONLY THAT THE SURETY HAS RECEIVED THE AFFIDAVIT OF THE OWNER AS
SPECIFIED IN PARAGRAPH 2.
4. SURETY’S ADDITIONAL OBLIGATIONS. In addition to those duties set forth herein above, the Surety must promptly
pay the OWNER (i) all losses, costs and expenses resulting from the Principal’s breach(es) or default(s), including,
without limitation, fees (including attorney’s fees pursuant to section 627.756, Florida Statutes and related costs),
