Rhode Island Bid Bond
Rhode Island requires bidder security of at least 5% of the bid on state construction contracts estimated to cost more than $50,000.
Rhode Island Performance & Payment Bond
Contractors on state road, bridge and public building contracts over $150,000 must furnish a bond covering both performance and payment for labor and materials. The amount is 50% to 100% of the contract price.
Rhode Island Contractor License Bond
Rhode Island contractors register with the Contractors' Registration and Licensing Board under R.I. Gen. Laws § 5-65-3. The registration law does not require a surety bond; contractors must state whether the proper insurance is in effect for each job.
Rhode Island Mechanic's Lien Discharge Bond
An owner, lessee or tenant can release a mechanic's lien by depositing a surety bond in Superior Court. The bond covers the lien amount plus costs, interest and reasonable attorney's fees.
Rhode Island Subdivision Bond
Rhode Island cities and towns may require improvement guarantees for subdivisions and land development under state law. The guarantee must secure full construction of the required improvements.
Rhode Island Maintenance Bond
For subdivision improvements, a Rhode Island municipality may require a maintenance guarantee for one year after acceptance, capped at 10% of the original guarantee. On other projects it is set by contract.
Rhode Island Right-of-Way Bond
RIDOT requires a bond for work in or affecting the state highway right-of-way under a Physical Alteration Permit. The amount depends on the project.
Rhode Island Permit Bond
Rhode Island has no statewide building permit bond; cities and towns set their own for local street and work permits. For work within or affecting a state highway, RIDOT issues a Physical Alteration Permit only after it receives an original bond sized to the project, under Section 4.7 of its permit rules.
Rhode Island Supply Bond
Rhode Island's bond statute, R.I. Gen. Laws § 37-12-1, requires bonds from contractors on state public works contracts awarded by the Department of Transportation or the Department of Administration. It does not set a supply bond; when a buyer wants one, the contract terms set it.
Rhode Island Stop Payment Notice Release Bond
Rhode Island does not have a stop payment notice procedure, so there is no bond to release one. Unpaid parties use a mechanic's lien on private jobs and a claim on the contractor's bond under R.I. Gen. Laws § 37-12-1 on state public works.
Rhode Island Notary Bond
Rhode Island does not require a notary bond. Under R.I. Gen. Laws § 42-30.1-15, the commissioning officer issues a notary commission for a 4-year term after an $80 application fee; the section sets no bond.
Rhode Island Freight Broker Bond (BMC-84)
Property brokers registered with FMCSA must keep $75,000 in financial security under 49 U.S.C. 13906. A surety bond is filed on Form BMC-84; a trust fund is filed on Form BMC-85.
