Topic #: 5
A bond that guarantees the bidder will enter into a contract on the basis of his/her bid is referred to as:
A bid bond is a type of surety bond that guarantees the bidder will enter into a contract on the basis of their bid if they are awarded the contract. The purpose of a bid bond is to provide a financial guarantee to the project owner that the bidder will honor their bid and execute the contract at the bid price. If the bidder fails to do so, the bid bond compensates the owner for the difference between the bidder's price and the next lowest bid.
Option A: Surety bond is a broader category of bonds that includes bid bonds but is not specific to the bid guarantee.
Option B: Performance bond guarantees the completion of the project according to the contract terms but is issued after the bid is accepted.
Option D: Liability bond is related to covering legal liabilities, not bidding.
Thus, C. Bid bond is the correct answer as it specifically refers to the guarantee provided during the bidding process.
