A ____ bond guarantees the owner that the contract work will be completed according to its terms including price and time.

Payment
Performance
Bid
All of the above

The correct answer is: Performance

A performance bond is specifically designed to ensure that the contractor fulfills their contractual obligations as stipulated in the agreement. This includes completing the work according to the set timelines and within the agreed-upon budget. The performance bond provides a financial guarantee to the project owner, protecting them from the risk of the contractor failing to meet these terms. If the contractor defaults or does not perform their contractual duties, the performance bond allows the owner to claim compensation, thereby ensuring the project can continue or be completed by another contractor. Other types of bonds serve different purposes; for example, a payment bond guarantees that the contractor will pay their subcontractors and suppliers, but it does not directly address the completion of the project itself. A bid bond, on the other hand, ensures that if a contractor wins the bid, they will proceed with the contract. Therefore, the performance bond is the most relevant bond in terms of guaranteeing the actual completion of the work according to the contract's specifications.
