Most bid bonds have an amount equal to 10% of the full bid price for the contract. Once the bidder has won the contract, performance bonds and payment bonds are usually required.

are usually required when any job is for a public works agency and the anticipated contract will be more than $25,000.

Bid bonds

help to avoid frivolous bids and guarantees that the principal will enter into the contract if it is awarded. A bid bond guarantees that the job owner will be paid the difference between the contractors bid price and the next closest bid.This action is only triggered should the principal be awarded the contract but fails to enter into the contract.

If the contractor is "low bidder" or otherwise selected for the job, it will require a "final bond." These bonds are usually payment and performance bonds. There are several types but these are the most common.

In most instances bid bonds are issued after the underwriting process at no charge. You will need to send us the RFP or RFQ and the bond forms.
