What it is and who needs it.
What the maintenance bond actually guarantees
The City of Aspen requires a maintenance bond on completed right-of-way work to guarantee it holds up through the warranty period. The single-project version bonds one specific project — the right choice when you have a single job rather than ongoing City work.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Aspen (the obligee). If your completed project 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. For a single Aspen project, this is the simplest of the three maintenance options.

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 $500,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
