The difference between a gurrantee and a bond?
Guarantees are conditional
contractor must commit a default b 4 the guarantor can be called in to perform
The contractor has to fulfil its obligations
Payment bonds are unconditional
don't require proof of default
often referred to as unconditional/ on-demand bonds
guarantor pays a predetermined sum
Doesn't matter if there is a loss or not
bank has to pay without waiting for contractors action
Bank has primary liability
Protection
PB = comfort of being a payment guarantee from an independent third party
PB be from a reputable guarantor
PCG is directly related to the financial covenant of the parent
employer should be satisfied with the identity of the parent
Cost/availability
PB = Contrractor charge a premium
PCG = no cost implication
PCG will not be available if the contractor has no paren
not desirable parentdoesn't have a good financial covenant
Cover
PB doesn't guarantee completion of project, just recovery of financial loss up to a stated maximum amount.
PCG guarantees performance of the contract BUT little benefit if the parent unable to perform the contract (e.g. insolvency)
Duration
PCG = Often co-extensive with duration of contractor liabiltiy e.g. six or 12 years (deed/underhand) & covers contractor’s liability 4 remedies
PB = operate for the period contractor obligations to carry out the works e.g,
expires at either practical completion or the end of the 12-month rectification period.
