INSTRUCTION SHEET FOR AIA DOCUMENT G707, CONSENT OF SURETY TO FINAL PAYMENT A. GENERAL INFORMATION 1. Purpose This document is intended for use as a companion to AIA Document G706, Contractor's Affidavit of Payment of Debts and Claims, on construction projects where the Contractor is required to furnish a bond. By obtaining the Surety's approval of final payment to the Contractor and its agreement that final payment will not relieve the Surety of any of its obligations, the Owner may preserve its rights under the bond. 2. Related Documents This document may be used with most of the AIA's Owner -Contractor agreements and general conditions, such as A201 and its related family of documents. As noted above, this is a companion document to AIA Document G706. 3.
