What it is and who needs it.
What the Bridgeport curb & sidewalk bond covers
The City of Bridgeport controls work on its public curbs and sidewalks. When a contractor constructs, replaces, or repairs a curb or sidewalk, the City conditions the permit on a $20,000 surety bond.
The bond is a workmanship-and-restoration guarantee. It runs to the City of Bridgeport as obligee and stands behind your obligation to build the curb or sidewalk to city specifications and to repair any defect or settlement that follows. If your work fails and the City has to correct it, it can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the City, you repay the surety. Contractors who do good curb and sidewalk work treat the bond as a permit formality. The premium for this fixed $20,000 bond is set by our carrier’s rate book at $200; no credit check.

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 $20,000 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.
How to file it
File with the City of Bridgeport. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the City’s curb-and-sidewalk permit. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $200 at the $20,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
