About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the Bridgeport public improvements bond covers

When a developer or contractor builds public infrastructure in Bridgeport — streets, sidewalks, drainage, water and sewer, lighting — that the City will eventually own and maintain, the City wants assurance the work is finished to standard before it accepts it. A public-improvements bond provides that assurance.

The bond is a completion guarantee. It runs to the City of Bridgeport as obligee and stands behind your obligation to build the approved improvements to city specifications. If the work is left unfinished or defective, the City can draw on the bond to complete or correct it.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the City, you repay the surety. The amount is generally tied to the engineer’s cost estimate for the improvements. Pricing on the amount the City set is 0.5% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum; the application collects no credit information, and most approvals are instant.

City of Bridgeport — public improvementsThe City of Bridgeport requires this bond to guarantee public improvements (roads, drainage, utilities) it must accept; the bond amount is set by the City of Bridgeport (commonly through Public Facilities / the land-use approval) based on the engineer’s estimate of the work. We have framed this conservatively rather than citing a specific ordinance number, because the requirement is administered through the City’s approval process rather than a numbered state statute. Confirm the required amount with the City.
