Does my company need to provide performance, payment and maintenance bonds?

  • Under The Miller Act of 1935, the Federal Government requires performance and payment bonds on contracts valued over $100,000 for the construction, alteration, or repair of any public building or public work. Local and State governments have established similar acts requiring performance and payment bonds on all publicly funded construction projects.


  • General contractors can also require subcontractors to post performance and payment bonds. Being prequalified for surety bonds demonstrates to a contractor’s customer that they have the experience, capital, and financial wherewithal to complete a project.
