Public Works (BOLI) Bonds: Protecting Taxpayers and Ensuring Project Completion
Public works projects are essential for our communities, from building new schools and roads to improving existing infrastructure. But these projects often involve significant taxpayer investment, which means ensuring they’re completed properly and on time is crucial. That’s where Public Works Bonds, also known as BOLI (Bond of Licensing and Indemnity) Bonds or Public Improvement Bonds, come into play.
What are Public Works Bonds?
Public Works Bonds are a type of surety bond required by state and local governments for construction projects that involve public funds. These bonds act as a financial guarantee, protecting taxpayers and project owners if the contractor fails to complete the work according to the contract terms.
How Do Public Works Bonds Protect You?
Public Works Bonds offer several layers of protection:
- Completion Guarantee: If a contractor fails to finish a project, the bond ensures that the work is completed by another contractor or that the project owner is compensated for the unfinished work.
- Payment Protection: The bond also guarantees payment for subcontractors, laborers, and material suppliers, protecting them from financial losses if the contractor fails to pay their bills.
- Performance Guarantee: The bond holds the contractor accountable for meeting project specifications and quality standards. If the work is defective, the bond can be used to cover the cost of repairs or replacements.
Who Needs a Public Works Bond?
Public Works Bonds are typically required for various types of projects, including:
- Road construction and maintenance
- Bridge building and repair
- School and hospital construction
- Water and sewer system projects
- Public parks and recreation facilities
