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, at a flat 3% with a soft credit pull that never affects your score, on the form the City names.
