Commissioners of Queen Anne’s County, MD Performance Bond Application
Overview
Winning a construction contract with Queen Anne's County means one thing: you need a Performance Bond before work begins. Commissioners of Queen Anne's County require this bond to guarantee that your project will be completed according to contract terms, that subcontractors and suppliers will be paid, and that the site will be left in acceptable condition. It protects the County — and the public — against contractor default, abandonment, or failure to meet the agreed scope of work. This is a county-level requirement specific to Queen Anne's County, Maryland, not a state license bond.
Who Needs This Bond?
Contractors awarded a construction contract by the Commissioners of Queen Anne's County are the applicants for this bond. Whether you're a general contractor, site developer, or specialty trade contractor working on a county-issued project, you will be required to post this bond before mobilizing. It applies to any contractor performing work subject to a formal contract with the County — including road construction, utility work, site improvements, or public facilities.
What is this Bond For?
This bond serves three functions simultaneously: performance, payment, and site improvement. Performance coverage guarantees the contractor will complete the contracted work. Payment coverage protects subcontractors, laborers, and material suppliers from nonpayment. Maintenance and site improvement provisions ensure the completed project meets Queen Anne's County's standards and that any defects discovered after completion are corrected. If the contractor fails on any of these fronts, the County can make a claim against the bond.
When is it Required?
Execution of a construction contract with the Commissioners of Queen Anne's County triggers this bond requirement. Before the County will authorize the contractor to begin work, the bond must already be in place and submitted as part of the contract execution package. Bidding on a County project typically puts you on notice that a Performance Bond will be required upon award — so the time to arrange it is immediately after receiving notice of contract award.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is specific to projects contracted directly through the Commissioners of Queen Anne's County, Maryland. It is a local county requirement and does not substitute for any state-level contractor license bond required by Maryland. The bond obligation runs between the contractor as principal, the surety company, and the Commissioners of Queen Anne's County as obligee.
