Who Needs This Bond?
If you are a Texas electrical contractor signatory to the Red River Valley chapter's collective bargaining agreement with IBEW Local 681, this bond is required of you. It applies to employers who have agreed to pay wages, fringe benefits, and contributions to union-administered trust funds on behalf of their covered workers. If your agreement or the union has specifically requested proof of bonding, you cannot proceed without it. This bond is your written guarantee to the union and its members that you will meet those financial obligations.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects IBEW Local 681 members and the union trust funds from financial loss caused by a signatory employer's failure to pay wages, fringe benefits, or required fund contributions. It creates a financial backstop — if an employer defaults on those obligations, a claim can be filed against the bond. The union and its trustees are the protected parties; you, as the employing contractor, are the principal. Carrying this bond signals to the union that your firm stands behind every dollar you have committed to pay.
When is it Required?
Renewal and continuous coverage are central to this bond — it must remain in force throughout the period you are performing work under the Red River Valley & IBEW Local 681 collective bargaining agreement. Your obligation to maintain the bond begins when you become a signatory employer and continues for as long as you employ covered workers under that agreement. Allowing the bond to lapse can trigger a breach of your CBA obligations and put your ability to use IBEW labor at risk. Keep your bond current before the term ends to stay in good standing.
Where Does it Apply?
This is a statewide Texas bond tied specifically to the Red River Valley jurisdiction and IBEW Local 681. It covers your obligations under that local union's collective bargaining agreement anywhere in Texas where the agreement governs your work. It is not a general contractor's license bond — it is a union labor compliance instrument specific to this local.
