Payment Bond
is a surety bond posted by the contractor to guarantee that its subcontractors, material suppliers and laborers will be paid. They are required in contracts over $35,000 with the Federal Government and must be 100% of the contract value. These bonds are often required in conjunction with performance bonds.
Performance Bond
A performance bond (also known as a contract bond) is a surety bond issued by an insurance company or a bank to guarantee satisfactory completion of a project by a contractor, even if the contractor fails to complete the job this bond will guarantee completion of the project. These bonds depending on size can use a multitude of qualifying factors ranging from credit score to personal and business financials. These bonds are a 3 party contract and will contain indemnification to secure the said contract.
Contractor License Bonds
The purpose of a Contractor License Bond is to protect the public from unsatisfactory performance and workmanship. While the types of license bonds can vary by state and municipality they serve the same purpose and are usually a requirement to obtain a license. To keep a license active, the contractor, must maintain an active license bond. These records are public and can be reviewed by anyone who has interest in viewing the contractor status. In the event the contractor does faulty work, a client may put a claim against the license bond to insure the matter is addressed or corrected by the contractor. The contractor is obligated to pay any claims against the bonds as these contracts are indemnification contracts.
