Bid Bond

Surety Bonds for Bid Bonds

What is a Bid Bond?

A bid bond ensures that the contractor submitting the winning bid, will honor that bid and will not increase the bid after winning the project.  It makes sure that the applicant will also enter into the agreement with sound financial backing and will obtain a payment and performance bond if awarded the project.  It also guarantees that the contractor will take on the project if it is awarded to him or her.

By requiring a bid bond, the project owner may be more comfortable awarding the project to a contractor, because if the contractor defaults on the bid bond, the project owner can seek compensation from the surety bond company.  Another protection for the project owner is that a bid bond will deter contractors from submitting lighthearted bids.
