What percent is the performance bond?

• A. 15%
• B. 10%
• C. 20%
• D. 25%

Answer: (A)

A performance bond is a guarantee that the contractor will complete the work according to the contract, and the amount is set as a percent of the contract price. In many UAP 301 practice items, 15% is used as the standard figure because it provides solid security for the project owner without imposing excessive costs on the contractor. So choosing 15% aligns with the common convention used in these questions. Other percentages would reflect different risk levels or contract terms (lower like 10% for smaller or lower-risk jobs, higher like 20% or 25% for more risk or stricter penalties), but the typical exam default is 15%. The bond is posted before work begins and stays in place until the project is completed and all obligations are satisfied.
