What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City and County of Denver licenses sewer contractors and conditions work in the public right-of-way on a $50,000 surety bond. The bond is a restoration-and-compliance guarantee: it stands behind your promise to build and connect sewers to Denver's standards and to restore the right-of-way you've opened.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City and County of Denver (the obligee). If your work fails to meet code or you leave the right-of-way unrestored, the City can recover its costs against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the City, you repay the surety. Sewer contractors who build to code and restore their cuts treat the bond as a registration formality, not a risk.
