About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the fringe benefits bond actually guarantees

International Union of Operating Engineers Local 101 represents heavy-equipment operators across Western Missouri and Kansas. Contractors who sign the union's collective bargaining agreement agree to pay union-scale wages and to remit contributions to the Local's fringe benefit funds — health and welfare, pension, and apprenticeship training.

The fringe benefits bond backs those obligations. It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Local 101's benefit funds (the obligee). If a signatory contractor falls short on wages or fund contributions, the funds can claim against the bond up to its face amount.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. There is no single published bond amount; the fund office or your CBA fixes the figure for your operation. Enter the amount your filing requires, and premiums are priced from a $125 minimum after a quick soft credit check that never affects your score.
