Bid Bond

A Bid Bond is often required of a contractor for a specific project. The bond amount is a percentage of the total bid on project, typically 10%. The Bid Bond provides the owner of the project with some assurance that, if the contractor is ultimately awarded a contract based on his bid, he will enter into a contract with the owner of the construction project. In short, a Bid Bond is a guarantee that the bond holder will perform the work they have bid on.
