About this bond

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. We issue the fixed $20,000 bond at a flat 3% with no credit check.

City of Bridgeport — curb & sidewalk permit ($20,000)The City of Bridgeport requires this $20,000 surety bond as a condition of its curb-and-sidewalk permit; the bond amount and terms are set by the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Facilities / Public Works. We have framed this conservatively rather than citing a specific ordinance number, because Bridgeport’s permit terms are administered by the City rather than published as a numbered state statute.
