PERFORMANCE BOND.

A Performance Bond is a form of guarantee to be submitted by the contractor who

obtains a contract from the client, which may be held by the client to protect its interest and to
ensure that the contractor perform all obligations under a contract. In other words it for insuring
a client against the risk of a contractor failing to fulfill contractual obligations to the client. If the
contractor fails to construct the building according to the specifications laid out by the contract,
the client is guaranteed compensation for any monetary loss.

Rates of performance bonds.

1. 2.5% of the contract value for supply/services contract worth RM200,000.00 to

3. For supply/services timed contract effective for a period of two (2) years or more, the
percentage and amount of performance bond is calculated according to the estimated
contract value per year. However, the performance bond submitted by the contractor

INSURANCE

Insurance is a form of risk management in which the insured transfers the cost of
potential loss to another entity in exchange for monetary compensation known as the premium.
Insurance allows individuals, businesses and other entities to protect themselves against
significant potential losses and financial hardship at a reasonably affordable rate. We say
"significant" because if the potential loss is small, then it doesn't make sense to pay a premium
to protect against the loss.

TYPE OF INSURANCE IN COSTRUCTION INDUSTRY

All risks insurance This insures against physical damage to the works (and usually materials
on site). All risks insurance typically covers the full reinstatement value of
the works plus a mark up for any ancillary costs (such as consultancy and
professional fees) that are incurred.
Public liability insurance This provides cover for liability arising out of death or personal injury
to third parties (but not the contractors employees, who should be
covered by workers compensation insurance) or damage to
property belonging to third parties (but not the works, which is
covered by the all risks insurance) prior to the works being taken
over.
Workers compensation insurance - This insures the contractor against liability for the death or
personal injury to its employees (usually on site) when
performing the works.

CIDB LEVY

construction works bearing a value of RM 500,000.00 per contract on which a levy is imposed at

Construction projects as Main Contractors.
