When you contract with the City of Phoenix for public work — or build a permitted improvement the City will accept — the City requires a performance bond. It is the classic three-party guarantee that the project gets built right.
The bond runs between you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Phoenix (the obligee). It guarantees you complete the work according to the contract and City specifications. If you default, the City can call on the surety to finish the job or pay the cost of completion, up to the bond amount.
The bond amount equals the contract value or the amount of work the City names — so the premium scales with the job. It is not insurance for you: if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We write it at a flat 3%; larger contract amounts get a brief underwriter review.
Submit the application with the contract / amount of work — smaller bonds issue fast, larger contract amounts get a brief underwriter review.
