What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
When a project in the City of Wheat Ridge disturbs land, the City requires erosion and sediment control measures — silt fence, inlet protection, stabilized entrances, and the like — and can require a bond to guarantee them. The bond is a performance guarantee that the controls are installed, maintained through construction, and the site is stabilized.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Wheat Ridge (the obligee). If controls fail and sediment leaves the site, or the City has to install or repair measures itself, 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 with a soft credit pull that never affects your score, 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.
