A contractor signatory to a collective bargaining agreement with IBEW Local Union No. 666 (Richmond), through the Atlantic Coast Chapter of the National Electrical Contractors Association, posts this $5,000 bond to secure its wages and fringe-benefit fund contributions — ours is $200 flat, and the price you see is the checkout price. The application includes a credit consent, but it authorizes a soft credit pull only — a soft inquiry that never affects your score. No hard inquiry ever runs on this bond.
















This is a fixed-amount, fixed-price fringe benefits bond. Here’s the entire process:
Company details, an effective date, and a one-time consent to a soft credit pull — that’s the application.
Fringe benefits bonds at this fixed amount are among the bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with IBEW Local Union No. 666, the Atlantic Coast Chapter of NECA, or the fringe benefit fund administrator. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
A fringe benefits bond — sometimes called a wage-and-welfare bond — is the financial guarantee a union local requires of a signatory contractor: a contractor bound by a collective bargaining agreement to employ covered electricians. IBEW Local Union No. 666, based in the Richmond area, works through the Atlantic Coast Chapter of the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA) on the Fourth District Regional Agreement covering Maryland, Virginia, and D.C.
That agreement’s Surety Bond article requires each signatory employer to furnish a surety bond (or cash-equivalent line of credit) to secure payment of all amounts due on account of payroll and fund-deduction, contribution, and reporting obligations, and provides that the Atlantic Coast Chapter of NECA determines the amount due and directs payment from the bond to affected employees and fund trustees. This carrier’s form is written at a fixed $5,000.
It is a three-party arrangement: the contractor (the principal), the surety carrier, and IBEW Local Union No. 666 or the Atlantic Coast Chapter of NECA on behalf of the affected fringe benefit funds (the obligee), protecting the covered workers whose wages and benefits depend on those contributions actually arriving. If a signatory contractor falls short, the union or Chapter can direct payment from the bond, and if the surety pays, the contractor repays the surety.
These are the actual underwriting fields, including your company details and a one-time consent to a soft credit pull. The pull never affects your score.
