What it is and who needs it.
What the maintenance bond actually guarantees
The City of Aspen requires a maintenance bond on work done in its right-of-way — paving, utility cuts, and similar — to guarantee the work holds up through the warranty period rather than failing and leaving the City to repair it. The blanket version covers all of your Aspen work under one two-year bond.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Aspen (the obligee). If your completed work fails within the maintenance period and you don't fix it, the City can recover its repair cost against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the City, you repay the surety. Contractors whose work holds up treat the maintenance bond as a closeout formality.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the City of Aspen. Submit the executed bond to the City of Aspen Engineering Department. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the City insists.
What sets the price
The premium is 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $100,000.
