What is a bid bond, and how does it protect the owner?

What will be an ideal response?


The bid bond ensures that if a contractor is awarded the bid within the time specified, the contractor will enter into the contract and provide all other specified bonds. If they fail to do so without justification, the bond shall be forfeited to the owner. The amount forfeited shall in no case exceed the amount of the bond or the difference between the original bid and the next highest bid that the owner may, in good faith, accept.
