So, there are typically three entities that are considered a Bond Party: the Obligee, the Principal, and the Surety. The surety pays out compensation to the limit of its guarantee in the event of the default of the Principal to uphold his obligations to the Obligee.
A lump sum contract, sometimes called stipulated sum, is the most basic form of agreement between a contractor and a customer. A lump sum contract or a stipulated sum contract will require that the contractor agree to provide specified services for a stipulated or fixed price.
A bid bond guarantees compensation to the bond owner if the bidder fails to begin a project. Bid bonds are often used for construction jobs or other projects with similar bid-based selection processes.
Typically a bid bond is 10% of the contract price, but that isn't mandatory. Some owners will ask for 5%, a fixed dollar amount or any amount they think is worthy. The idea behind the bid bond is that the owner can recover the difference between low and second lowest bidder, and it provides a prequalification function.
There are three parties to a bid bond: the principal, the obligee, and the surety. The principal is the contractor purchasing the bond, while the obligee is the project owner or GC protected by the bond. The surety company is the company providing the bid bond.
A Surety Agreement Defined They differ from an insurance contract in that an insurance contract includes two entities (insurance provider and policyholder), whereas a surety bond involves three parties: the Principal, the Obligee and the Surety.
