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.

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 $25,000 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; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
