Understanding Performance Bonds

What Is A Performance & Payment Bond?

A Performance & Payment Bond is a financial guarantee that is often required and attached to a contract. It guarantees the fulfillment and completion of a project according to the scope and details found in the original contract. Municipalities often require these bonds in an effort to guarantee the completion of the contract and ensure that the owner does not face financial responsibility if the contractor fails to complete the job.

Why Do You Need A Performance Bond?

If you are a contractor starting a job, you are often required to provide this type of contract bond. Typically a Performance Bond is accompanied with a Payment Bond. These are among some of the most common construction-related bonds. So what is a performance bond? The Performance Bond specifically guarantees that the contractor will fully perform the necessary obligations to satisfy the contract.

Why Do You Need A Payment Bond?

Performance and Payment Bonds are one of the most common construction bonding requirements in the industry. So what is a Payment Bond? A Payment Bonds specifically guarantee that the contractor will fulfill the necessary payments for the appropriate materials and subcontractors as outlined within the contract.  Performance and Payment bonds are typically purchased during the contract negotiations.

What Is The Cost Of These Bonds?

Performance and payment bonds vary in price depending on the amount the contractor bid on for the overall project. The premium, the amount in which the contractor is required to pay, is a small portion of the entire bond cost. A premium ranges in price depending on a few different factors. The contractor's personal credit, bond history, financial stability, and business history can all play a role in the premium amount.
