Prepared by the Engineers Joint Contract Documents Committee (EJCDC).

The Payment Bond is intended to assure the availability of sufficient funds to pay for labor, materials, and equipment used in construction. For public work, this form provides rights of recovery for workers and suppliers that are similar to their rights under the mechanics lien laws, which apply to private work.

EJCDC includes the American Society of Civil Engineers, the American Council of Engineering Companies, the National Society of Professional Engineers, and the participation of more than fifteen other professional engineering design, construction, owner, legal, and risk management organizations.

EJCDC documents are delivered in Microsoft Word format (file extension *.doc). Microsoft Word is required if you wish to edit the files.
