Answer to Question 1

The five types of surety bonds used in the construction industry are: (1) A bid bond guarantees the obligee that the bidder will meet all contact requirements and accept award of the contract at the price bid. (2) A performance bond guarantees that the contractor will perform according to the terms of the contract. (3) A labor and materials bond guarantees that the contractor will pay anyone who contributed labor or materials to the project. (4) A maintenance bond guarantees that the contractor will respond to all warranty calls during the warranty period. (5) A supply bond guarantees that a material supplier will comply with the terms of a supply contract.

Answer to Question 2

Bonding agents help construction companies establish bonding programs by selecting the most advantageous bonding agreements with appropriate bonding companies.
