When would a surety bond be necessary?
A surety bond is an unusual form of insurance in that one person or organization pays for it, while another receives the benefit. The big difference between this and ordinary insurance is that the insurer can and will go after the person or business at fault to get money back. The point of the surety bond is that the agency gets the assurance that it won’t have to chase after the money itself.
The difference between the principal and the obligee.
While government agencies commonly insist on a surety bond, it can work with any two organizations. The one that purchases the surety bond is “the principal,” while the one that gets any payout is “the obligee.”

Bid Bonds
A bid bond provides a financial guarantee that a bid has been proposed in good faith. When a surety issues a bid bond to a contractor, they are assuring the contractor will enter into the contract at the bid price. It supports that the contractor is qualified for the necessary performance and payment bonds.
Performance and Payment Bonds
Performance and payment bonds can be issued individually but are most commonly issued together. Separately, performance bonds are required by the obligee (owner) to insure against financial loss in the event the contractor (principal) is incapable of performing the contract according to its terms and conditions. It guarantees against faulty workmanship and materials for a specific period of time. Payment bonds guarantee the contractor will pay the suppliers, laborers, and subcontractors they have involved in the project.
Maintenance Bonds
Maintenance bonds protect against faulty workmanship and materials for a specific period of time—usually, one or two years after the bond contract is complete. Request more information or secure a maintenance bond by using the form below.
