Secrets of Bonding

Complicated Subdivision Bond ISSUED!

You may never have seen a case quite like this one…

Details:

• Applicant needed a multi-million dollar maintenance bond for work installed under a subdivision development agreement.
• The construction phase was already bonded by another surety and completed. They could not provide the required multi-million dollar maintenance bond.
• Applicant provided a recent fiscal year-end statement with a negative $900,000 Net Worth and a $1 million+ Net Loss
• “Compilation” financials for a bond over $3 million
• The municipal obligee required a straight seven-year bond term for 100% of the construction amount.  (Rolling your eyes yet?)

How did FIA Surety put this together?

• We verified the Compilation financials based on our “audit” of supporting schedules.
• We restructured the Net Worth analysis by arranging the subordination of a major loan.
• We worked with their CPA to evaluate the profitability of their current fiscal year.
• We verified the warranty in the underlying construction contract.
• We conducted a negotiation with the obligee resulting in a revised contractual obligation for the Principal, and they accepted a revised bond form written by our legal department – with a shorter term, and permitting non-renewal by FIA Surety.
• We obtained the obligee’s written acceptance of the work in place.
• We conducted a prior surety check with the incumbent carrier.
