Full Description

A surety bond is a mechanism that transfers the risk that a contractor will bear if it fails to complete a project, from the owner to the surety company. It is not meant to protect the contractor or engineer. Two types of surety bonds exist: a performance bond and a payment bond. Many projects require, as part of the specifi cations, that the contractor or the architect purchase both types of bonds.
