Any suit or action under this bond must be instituted within the time period, if <br />any, provided by applicable law. The bond shall be subject to all claims and liens <br />provided for by law or Contract against the earned retained funds and in the same <br />manner and priority as set forth for retained percentages in RCW Chapter 60.28 and the <br />Contract. <br />2. The Surety hereby consents to and waives notice of any extension in the time <br />for performance of the Contract, assignment of obligations under the Contract, or <br />Contract alteration, termination, amendment or change order. This expressly includes, <br />but is not limited to, consent to and waiver of any notice with respect to increases in the <br />Contract price by change order. Upon any such Contract price increase, the amount of <br />this bond automatically increases by an amount equal to 5% of Contract price increase. <br />3. Until written release of this obligation by the City, this bond may not be <br />terminated or canceled by the Principal or Surety for any reason. Any extension of time <br />for the Principal’s performance on the Contract, assignment of obligations under the <br />Contract, or Contract alteration, amendment or change order shall not release the <br />Surety from its obligation under this bond. <br />4. RCW Chapter 60.28 authorizes the City to substitute a retainage bond in lieu <br />of earned retained funds and the Surety hereby waives any defense that this bond is <br />void or otherwise not authorized by law. <br />5. Any claim or suit against the City to foreclose the liens provided for by RCW <br />Chapter 60.28 shall be effective against the Principal and Surety and any judgment <br />under RCW Chapter 60.28 against the City shall be conclusive against the Principal and <br />the Surety. <br /> <br />
