Oregon Disseminator Contract Bond - $25,000

 

The State of Oregon requires businesses to apply for a $25,000 contract bond in order to secure their permits and activate their licenses. These requirements are needed to ensure the compensation of the public should accredited businesses cause any licensing infractions, such as damages to public properties or accidents, during their business operations.

 

What is a Contract Bond?

A contract bond is otherwise known as a performance bond. It is specifically drafted to guarantee the faithful performance of provisions outlined in the contract; that all agreed upon conditions are enforced and satisfied. Should any provision of the contract be violated, claims may be filed but will be properly assessed by the surety provider.

 

What is the Oregon Disseminator Contract Bond?

Prior securing the business license to operate commercial driving schools, the State of Oregon requires businesses to secure a Disseminator Contract Bond in the amount of $25,000. The bond, in this case, is a guarantee that businesses will abide by the laws imposed by the State of Oregon and that the public will be compensated in the case of licensing infractions such as public property damages or accidents.

 

How does it work?

The Oregon Disseminator Contract Bond must be filed with the Oregon Department of Transportation and must be issued by a surety bond provider certified by the Oregon Department of Insurance. The parties in the agreement are the Principal (applicant), Obligee (Oregon State Dept. of Transportation), and Surety/Bond Company or Obligor (surety bond provider or insurance).

 

The Obligor will guarantee the compensation (performance bond) of the Obligee should the Principal fail to meet their standards or violate other licensing provisions. The Obligor will assess the validity of claims, where claims may only amount to the total penal sum agreed upon in the bond form. The Principal shall reimburse all expenses covered by the Obligor.

 

The Obligor is secured through an indemnity agreement as the licensed business is mandated by law for the full reimbursement of the claims, including legal fees and premiums. This agreement shall be made before the execution of the bond and shall ascertain the businesses responsibility for their dealings.

 

How much does it cost?

While the total bond amount is set at $25,000, the Oregon Disseminator Contract Bond itself is normally between $500 and $1,875, depending on the employer’s credit score, industry experience, business history, and the surety provider’s background.

 

The premium rate may start with 2% to 7.5%, depending on your standing during the assessment. Generally, the better your credit score, the better your bond cost and the premium rate will be.
