Monday, June 8th, 2009

A bid bond is surety bond that guarantees the obligee that the principal will be able to honer their bid. Some times obligee’s will not accept cash for the bid only a bid bond.

Different bonding needed for contractors

Friday, June 5th, 2009

What is bonding?
Bonding is where a principal obtains an extension of surety credit. In most cases when you refer to bonding you are referring to a contractor that has obtained bonding for their business like a bond line.

What is a Bond Line
A bond line is where the contractor has a line of surety credit to be used for future construction projects. Underwriting for performance bonds can be a long process but if you a bond line you do not have to reapply for every bond or bid bond you need.  When you have established a bonding relationship with the surety the surety normally requests updated financials every quarter.

What is a Bid Bond
In order to obtain a bid bond you must first qualify for what the final bond will be. There is some confusion about bid bonds.  You must qualify for the total contract amount not just what the bid bond will be. So if you need a $10,000 bid bond the surety is not underwriting off of that amount, but what the final bond will be. Usually a bid bond is an percentage of the total contract amount so if your bid bond is $10,000 and it is   5% of the total contract amount the final bond needed would be $200,000. So the surety will underwrite your application off of the final contract amount

What is a Final Bond
A final bond is also called a payment and performance bond. A final bond is when you have been awarded a bid. The bid bond than turns into the final bond you must sign the final bond reflecting the full contract amount and turn the bond into the obligee.

What is a Contractor license bond
A contractor license bond is a state requirement giving you the legal ability to perform constructions jobs in the state your business is operating in.  Obtaining a contractor license bond is usually the last step for the state to grant you your license.

what is the Surety Bond form:

Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009

A surety company is the entity that is backing the bond.  The bond form is not provided by the Surety Company but by the principal. This does not mean that the surety does not have a copy of the bond but it may be outdated. Always check with the oblige for the bond form.  After the surety company has approved your application the surety will require a GIA (General Indemnity Agreement) along with payment and other underwriting conditions. Once the surety company receives the original documentation they will then issue the bond. The bond consists of two parts the first part is the bond form.  The second part of an issued bond is the Power of Attorney. When you receive the original bond it should have the Power of attorney signature, Surety company seal as well as a power of attorney. A common mistake occurs when the principal receives the bond is where to send it. Please don’t send the original bond back to the surety company. The Surety bond should be sent to the obligee unless specified differently. If you send the bond back to the surety they may loss it and your license will be delayed it is the principals responsibility to deliver the bond to the appropriate place.
In order to become a surety bonding company you must file with the Department of Insurance “DOI”. Every state has different criteria for the company to meet such as financial strength, and you must file your company with each State.  The State does not assign a rating normally an independent third party does.  After reviewing the risk by an entity such as AM Best or Fitch a rating is assigned. In order for a surety to write bonds for the Federal Government the surety must become Treasury listed also known as T-Listed. So if you need a federal license like an ICC bond check to see if they are T-Listed.
Without surety bond companies when a company performs work for the federal government our tax dollars would be in jeopardy.
