EJCDC Issues Interim Payment Bond Forms Approved by the Surety and Fidelity Association of America and the National Association of Surety Bond Producers

Engineers Joint Contract Documents Committee, has published a revised edition of its standard payment bond form. The new form, EJCDC C-615(A), is intended to be used on an interim basis as a substitute for EJCDC's standard payment bond form, EJCDC C-615, pending a full review and reissuance of the standard form. The interim form addresses a concern regarding the misapplication of the standard form's section on the time limit for the surety's response to a claim on the bond. That concern arose as a result of court decisions in a few jurisdictions and led users and sureties to request a revision of the form.
