As a contractor, you know that payment bonds are required on all public construction projects over $200,000. Since a construction lien cannot be placed on public property to secure payment of subcontractors and material suppliers, payment bonds are an essential part of government construction projects. On bonded private projects, the payment bond takes the place of the owner’s property as security for the payment of work performed by subcontractors and material suppliers.

Performance Bonds

Performance bonds are often issued in addition to payment bonds on both public and private jobs. Performance bonds are designed to ensure the satisfactory completion of the project by the contractor. If the contractor fails to complete the project in accordance with specified contract terms, the property owner may receive damages in an amount up to the value of the performance bond, or require the surety to complete construction.
