What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Westminster licenses the contractors who work in its public ways — streets, sidewalks, and right-of-way — and sorts them into classes by the work they do. A Class D public-way contractor posts a bond as a condition of that license. It is a performance and restoration guarantee that you will restore the public way you disturb and follow the City's right-of-way rules.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Westminster (the obligee). If a contractor leaves the public way unrestored, damages City infrastructure, or violates the right-of-way conditions, the City can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We issue the amount the City set, pricing from $100, on the form the City names.

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

What sets the price
