Contract Bonds

Contract bonds guarantee the contractor (principal) will perform the work and pay their suppliers, subcontractors, and laborers.  Below are types of contract bonds and how to apply.

Bid Bond

A bid bond contains two guarantees if you are successful on a bid.  First you will enter into the contract with the owner or prime contractor.  Second you will provide a performance and payment bond for that contract. The surety will underwrite the bid bond on the assumption that you will be successful, and will base their primary consideration on whether they would be willing to issue the performance and payment bond
