Learn more about Performance Bonds
What is a Performance Bond?
A Performance Bond is a Surety document that guarantees the performance of a contract awarded to a contractor, in accordance to its terms, conditions, and specifications for the price agreed upon in the contract. This bond type guarantees that a contractor will complete a project according to plan, allowing the developer / owner to make a claim under the bond to recover lost time and money should they fail to do so. The most frequently requested bond amounts for a Performance Bond are for 50% or 100% of the contract price.
Why do I need a Performance Bond?
When a developer / owner wants to protect their investment made on a project, the contractor that won the bid is often required to provide a performance bond (commonly accompanied by a Labour & Material Payment Bond, but can be issued on a standalone basis as well) before work can begin. With a financial guarantee backed by a licensed Surety company in Canada, you can ensure your company will qualify for whatever project is of interest.
How much does a Performance Bond cost?
The cost of a Performance Bond will vary depending on the rates of your Bond Facility and the size of contract the bond is required for. Standard rates for Performance Bonds range from $6 – $25 per $1,000 of the contract price. Please don’t hesitate to give us a call if you’d like to discuss what determines a companies bond rates.
The ability to obtain any contract bonds (including a Performance Bond), as stated above, is part of an annual subscription called a Bond Facility which is typically in the range of $1,500 – $5,000 per year.
