What Is A Bid Bond?


A bid bond shows proof of guarantee to the owner of a project that you can comply with the bid contract. This means, you will be able to accomplish the job as it is laid out in the contract.

A bond assures the project owner that you have the capability to take on the project and carry it out through completion if you are selected for the project during the bidding process.

Most of the time, project owners have no idea if a contractor is able to financially handle a project. The bid bond takes that guess work out and protects the project owner.

So you need the bond for the job. Our mission is to get you the surety bond you need FAST at a price you can afford.

Our highly trained team of bond experts pride themselves on making it easy for you, our customer.

We review the contract using a systematic approach to make sure you get the bond from A rated insurance companys.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

A contractor who has a bond, will more than likely get the job because if the project fails they can collect compensation. Bid bonds along with other types of surety bonds are an important part of contracting. If you are new to the game you might not be as fluent in the terminology as you need to be let’s take a look at some of the basics.

If the obligations of the bid bond are not met the contractor and surety (the provider of the bid bond) are liable jointly for the bond. Penalties will be applied for failure to comply with bond obligations.

Also, when the project owner has to go and find a new contractor to finish the work, if there are additional costs the owner of the bid bond must pay as well. The standard for the additional cost is calculated by the difference in the bid that was held and the new bid.

When a bid bond requirement is requested for a project, it keeps contractors from submitting frivolous low ball bids and helps project managers to feel secure in their choice of contractor. The company issuing the Bond does a full and comprehensive credit and financial review before they will provide a bond to a company.

During the bidding process contractors submit what they think it will cost to get the job done. It is standard practice that the surety (the provider of the bid bond) will pay the project owner the difference between the lowest and next lowest bids

Under the Miller Act, all bidders are required to submit bid bonds on a federal project. Many private firms decide to follow suit with this act to protect themselves during the bidding process. If you want your business to be a competitive contractor for government projects, you will likely need to have bid bonds and know the process since many states require Bid Bonds for all projects.

There are several ways you can meet the federal standards for bid bonds. Bonds issued by an individual surety pledge certain defined types of assets.

  • Cash
  • Marketable assets
  • Letters of credit from a federally insured financial institution.
  • Bonds issued by an approved corporate surety. (The Department of the Treasury maintains a list of corporate sureties approved to issue bonds for federal projects, Treasury Department Circular 570.)
