The amount of a bid bond – also known as the penal sum – is usually a percentage of your total estimated project cost — most commonly 5% to 10% of the bid amount. Example: If you're bidding on a $500,000 job and the requirement is a 10% bond, you'll need a $50,000 bid bond.
Generally, this percentage is between 5 and 10%. For example, for a $500,000 bid, the contractor will have to secure a bid bond for $50,000. That $50,000 serves as a guarantee that the contractor will complete the project for the $500,000 bid value.
The bond money pays the premium to the bonding company to put up a bond for the duration of the project. Typically the fee is about 1% of the project and no the fee is not returned.
California bid bonds are required for public works contracts when the anticipated contract exceeds $25,000. For federal projects, all bidders are required to submit bid bonds under the Miller Act.

If the Bidder is not awarded any item, the bid bond or check furnished with the bid will be returned immediately upon award of the bid or as detailed in the specifications.
Bid bonds are important in construction projects. They protect the project owner by ensuring the winning contractor will follow through. If the contractor fails to enter into a contract per the bid, the bond compensates the owner for the difference between the winning bid and the next lowest bid.
Bid bonds can be the key to a contractor getting an opportunity to pursue a project, and they ultimately protect the project owner by discouraging contractors from submitting inappropriately low bids to win a contract.
