What is a 5% bid bond?
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.
What does a 10% bid bond mean?
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.
Do you get your money back on a bid bond?
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.
What is a bid bond in court?
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. Bid bonds are not generally required for private contracts but may be required by certain lending institutions.
How does a 5% bid bond work?
A $100,000 construction contract will need a $5,000 bond if it's a 5% bid bond requirement. That means you will need a $10,000 bond if it's a 10% bid bond requirement. Now, bid bonds are usually much smaller than the total costs in the contract.
Do you get your bid bond back?
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.
What are the benefits of a bid bond?

How does a bid bond protect the owner?
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.
