What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Denver licenses right-of-way contractors through Contractor Licensing, and an alley paving contractor's bond is approved by the Manager of Transportation & Infrastructure (DOTI). The bond is a public-works compliance guarantee: it stands behind your obligation to pave alleys to the City's specifications and standards.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City and County of Denver (the obligee). If a contractor fails to follow the City's paving requirements, the bond backs payment of fees, penalties, and the cost of repairs the City has to make.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond must stay active for the life of the license, and we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out so your right-of-way license never lapses.
