A signatory electrical contractor under IBEW Local No. 613's Atlanta-area labor agreement posts a fringe benefits bond guaranteeing its contributions to the union's pension, health, and other benefit funds. Local 613 and its associated benefit funds set the required amount. Premiums cost 4% of the bond amount, $100 minimum; the application includes a credit consent, but it authorizes a soft pull only, never a hard inquiry.
















No long underwriting queue for the standard fringe benefits bond — enter your amount, consent to a soft pull, and submit. Here is the whole thing:
Your company details, years in business, the bond amount your signatory agreement requires, and the effective date — plus a one-time consent to a soft credit pull.
Most fringe benefits bonds clear quickly; the soft credit pull informs approval and never affects your score — pricing is 4% of the bond amount, $100 minimum. Larger amounts may get a brief review.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to submit to IBEW Local 613 or its benefit funds administrator. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
IBEW Local No. 613, headquartered in Atlanta and serving electrical workers across dozens of Georgia counties, negotiates collective bargaining agreements that require signatory contractors to contribute to pension, health, and other fringe-benefit funds on behalf of their union employees. A fringe benefits bond backs that contractual promise.
It is a three-party arrangement: the contractor (the principal), the surety carrier, and IBEW Local 613 or its designated benefit funds (the obligee), with union members as the protected parties. If a signatory contractor fails to make its required fringe-benefit contributions, the union or fund can claim against the bond; if the surety pays, the contractor repays the surety.
This is a private, contractual requirement of the collective bargaining agreement — not a Georgia statute. The bond amount is set by the terms of your signatory agreement with Local 613 or its benefit funds administrator, not a fixed state figure. Enter the amount your agreement specifies; we price the bond from a $100 minimum after a soft credit pull that never affects your score.
Submit the application with the bond amount your signatory agreement requires. The credit consent authorizes a soft pull only — never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score.
