Payment Bonds
A payment bond provides a guarantee that the contractor will pay the complete costs of labor, materials, and other services related to the project for which the contractor is responsible according to the construction contract.
How is the cost of a bond determined?
Some contract surety bond costs are related to a contractor’s qualifications, while others are based on the scope of work or the classification of construction work that is being completed. The contract price is also a factor. Learn more about how the cost of a bond is determined from our Blog.
