Construction & Surety Insurance at a glance:
- Bid Bond/Tender Bond: Is used when a contractor is bidding on a tendered contract. The Bid Bond prequalifies the contractor and provides security to the obligee that the contractor will in fact enter into the contract if it is awarded.
- Surety’s Consent: A surety’s consent provides a guarantee to the obligee that if the contractor is awarded the contract then the surety will issue the required final bonds in support of the contractor.
- Performance Bond/Final Bond: The performance bond guarantees to the oblige that should the contractor fail to perform the contract, the surety will either complete the contract, pay for the cost of completion in excess of the contract price or pay the bond penalty.
- Payment Bond/Labour and Material Payment Bond: The payment bond provides security to sub-contractors and suppliers that they will be paid according to the terms of their contracts.
- Maintenance Bond: Provides security to the obligee that the contractor will maintain and repair the project according to the terms and conditions of the contract.
- Supply Bond: Provides security to the obligee that certain materials will be delivered by the contractor according to the terms of the signed contract.
