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.
