SUBCONTRACT BOND REQUIREMENTS

KEMP BROS. CONSTRUCTION, INC. (KBCI) may require all subcontractors bidding on projects to provide payment and performance bonds in the amount of 100% of the subcontract value. KBCI will assist with the bond premium up to 1.5% of the original contract amount for the duration of the project. KBCI may waive the bond requirement at its sole discretion. The payment and performance bonds must be issued by an admitted surety within ten (10) business days of the receipt of the Subcontract Agreement from KBCI. KBCI shall be named the obligee and shall guarantee prompt and faithful performance of the subcontract scope of work and the payment of all claims for labor and materials furnished or used in and about the work to be done and performed under the subcontract agreement. When so requested, failure by the Subcontractor to provide the requested 100% payment and performance bonds within the time allowed may be reason for KBCI to request substitution of the Subcontractor in accordance with Section 4107 of the Public Contracting Code.

CONSTRUCTION, INC.’s listing of a subcontractor is not an acceptance of any or all of that subcontractor’s conditions, qualifications, exclusions or exceptions included in the subcontractor’s bid proposal.
