Background & Context

3 stories

2.1

When each surety bond actually pays out.

A bid bond protects the owner if the bidder refuses to enter the contract; it pays the difference between the rejected bid and the next responsive bid. A performance bond covers contractor non-performance during the project. A payment bond protects unpaid subcontractors and suppliers. Each has different claimants and triggers.

Why It Matters

Subs frequently file claims against the wrong bond and lose them on procedural grounds without ever reaching the merits. Knowing which bond covers your specific exposure is table stakes for collections.

2.2

When prevailing-wage rules apply to your project.

Federal Davis-Bacon applies to projects with federal funding above a threshold; state "little Davis-Bacon" laws apply to state-funded projects with their own thresholds. The trap: rules apply to the work, not the contract — a privately funded portion of a project with any covered funding is subject to coverage on the whole.

Why It Matters

Wage-rate violations carry back-pay liability, debarment from future public bidding, and personal liability for officers in many states. The audits look back years.

2.3

The difference between an OSHA-recordable injury and a reportable one.

Recordable injuries (OSHA 300 log entries) include any that require medical treatment beyond first aid. Reportable injuries — which trigger an immediate notification to OSHA — are limited to fatalities (within 8 hours) and inpatient hospitalizations, amputations, or eye losses (within 24 hours). The categories are not the same.

Why It Matters

Confusing the two leads to either over-reporting (creating audit triggers) or under-reporting (which is itself a citation-worthy violation). Knowing the distinction protects both the safety record and the regulatory posture.
