How much does a Cherry Creek Valley Water & Sanitation performance bond cost?
It is underwritten: the premium is quoted from the bond amount and your financial picture, so there is no flat price to show.
Bonded before the first shovel.
The District will not let work start on its mains, taps, or other facilities until your coverages and submittals are approved. Here is the whole process:

A surety specialist reviews the penal sum and the scope of work on District facilities and returns a quote. If the amount is large, we tell you up front whether collateral would apply before you commit.
File with the District
Accept the quote and pay, and the executed bond issues with its power of attorney, ready to hand to the District office at 2325 S. Wabash St. with your insurance certificates and other § 9B-2 submittals.
What it is and who needs it.
What the District’s performance bond covers
Cherry Creek Valley Water and Sanitation District is a Colorado special district in Arapahoe County that runs water and sewer service from its office at 2325 S. Wabash St., Denver. It adopted its Rules and Regulations under the authority of C.R.S. § 32-1-1001(1)(m), and Article 9, Part B of those Rules — the Construction Standards — governs all excavations and other work on Main Extensions, Taps, or other District facilities.
Alongside the performance bond, the District requires your insurance certificates, a signed agreement and a county plumbing permit before you start work on its water or sewer facilities.
Part B puts the contractor on the hook for a lot: compliance with District, Denver Water, and Metro Water Recovery standards; a one-year warranty on materials and workmanship (§ 9B-1-5); and a broad indemnity of the District (§ 9B-1-8). Under § 9B-1-9 the contractor may not commence work on District facilities until the required coverages are in place, and the first coverage on the § 9B-1-9.2 list is a Performance Bond in a form approved by the District. The same list carries workers’ compensation and employers’ liability, general liability, auto liability, and professional liability insurance.
The bond is what stands behind the contractor finishing the work to the District’s standards and curing defects. If work is defective or non-conforming, § 9B-4 lets the District order a cure and, if the contractor fails to act, perform the work itself and charge the cost back. Letting the coverages lapse is cause for a Stop Work Order under § 9B-3 (§ 9B-1-9.4). Because the Rules fix no amount, the premium is quoted on review — but the application asks for no credit information, and the bond issues the moment you pay.

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
Term and renewal are set in the underwriter's quote.
Keep the bond in force for as long as the obligation behind it runs.
How to file it
