By obtaining a bid bond you and the Obligee are assured that if you are awarded the project, you will be able to get a performance and payment bond. While the certified check is a good option if there is no time to obtain a bond, you will be without those funds until the Obligee awards the contract.

Getting a bid bond is definitely the preferred way to bid a project, but the certified check is an option if needed.
