Performance Bonds

What is a Performance Bond?

A performance bond is a three party contract between the owner of a project (the Obligee), the general contractor (the Obligor) and the surety who is guaranteeing the performance of the contractor.

How much does a Performance Bond Cost?

The cost of a performance bond can vary widely depending on the amount of coverage that is required. It is based on the total amount of the contract. Things that can affect this pricing are the perceived risk of the job, the financial position of the entity being bonded, plus other factors.

Bond prices fluctuate based on the job size. The cost of a bond is estimated through a couple of back-of-the-envelope calculations. In general, the cost is approximately three percent (3%) for jobs under $800,000 and then the percentage is lower as the contract amount increases.

What is a Payment Bond? Is it included with the Performance Bond?

A payment bond is a bond that assures that the subcontractors and material vendors are paid. The payment provides that if the subcontractors are not paid timely and they make a valid claim, then the surety will pay them (and then collect and try from the general contractor).

What is a payment and performance bond? What is a contract bond?

Typically, a payment and performance bond are done together in the same contract by the surety. This way, the owner of the project is assured that the project can be completed pursuant to the terms of the contract and that it will not be liened by any contractor. The bond is performance security for the benefit of the owner.

Who Gets the Bond?

The general contractor is the entity that gets the bond. It is for the benefit of the owner (or in the case of government contract work, the governmental entity). It’s the general contractor that has to apply for the bond and be underwritten before the performance and payment bond is written by the surety. This is also known as bonding a business.
