   Who is required to have bonds on public projects? Only the General Contractor, or all subs who reach a certain $ ? (California)

   Christine, I presented this question to Shaaron Bangs (California Construction Law Attorney), her response:
   It is the General Contractor who must secure the bonds – generally, on any job in excess of $25,000. There are other regulations for smaller amounts for different public agencies.
   As to the subcontractors, if there is a requirement that the subcontractor post a bond for the amount of its work, it must be included in the request for proposal/bid; if it is not, the general cannot later require the subcontractor to post such bond.
   Hope this information helps!
