Need a bond for this one? Get prequalified once.
Most Florida work asks for the two below, and the solicitation documents are where it’s stated. One prequalification covers both — on this bid and the next.
Prequalified bidders know they can be bonded before they write the bid — and skip the application on every one of these. The bond becomes a request form and a copy of the RFP, not a scramble at the deadline.Prequalify For Bonding →What’s a good guy letter?
