Performance Bonds

A performance bond is a guarantee to the owner that the principal (General or Subcontractor) will complete the contract according to its specifications including price and time. The owner, or General Contractor, is the obligee of a performance bond, and may sue the principal (General or Subcontractor) and the surety under the bond. If the principal defaults, or is terminated for default by the owner, the owner may call upon the surety to complete the contract. Many performance bonds give the surety three choices: completing the contract itself through a completion contractor; selecting a new contractor to contract directly with the owner; or allowing the owner to complete the work with the surety paying the costs.
