Bid
Bonds A bid bond is provided
to the Obligee/Owner from the contractor in order to give assurance
that if the contractor is the successful bidder the contractor
can provide a payment and/or performance bond. If the contractor
is the successful bidder and decides not enter into a contract,
therefore failing to provide a payment and performance bond,
then the owner can make a claim on the bid bond for the difference
between the contractors bid and the lowest next bid or the amount
of the bid bond (5% to 20% of the bid amount) whichever is less.
In some cases the owner can claim the full amount of the bid
bond even if it’s more then the bid spread.
Performance Bonds A bond which promises that the terms of a contract, or
some of them, will be performed by the Principal/Contractor.
Payment Bonds A bond which promises to pay some or all of the persons
who provide material, labor, or services for prosecution of
a contract.
