If they are looking for a bond as a performance guarantee, then no - there would be no bond for this. The purpose of a contract bond is to protect public money - as in taxpayers that are part of a municipality that you may be doing work for. You need to sell your potential client on your insurance coverage and a good contract as they can not require a bond of you.
