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

D-612, Warranty Bond—Design-Build, is a comprehensive document designed to provide assurance that the Design-Builder or Surety will fulfill correction period obligations for a specified period after construction completion. This bond extends coverage beyond the standard one-year correction period, offering protection for two or three years post-substantial completion. It ensures that any defective work is corrected, replaced, or repaired, safeguarding the Owner’s investment and ensuring project quality. With standardized guidelines for use, editing, and organization, the document minimizes confusion and legal risks while providing clear terms for all parties involved. Ideal for Design-Build projects, the Warranty Bond is a reliable solution for long-term project assurance.

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 *.docx) and sometimes Microsoft Excel format (file extension *.xlsx). Microsoft Word and Excel are required if you wish to edit the files.
