About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the Bristol permit bond covers

The City of Bristol controls work in its public right-of-way, including curbs, sidewalks, and driveway aprons where they meet a city street. When a contractor constructs or repairs any of those, the City conditions the permit on a surety bond.

The bond is a workmanship-and-restoration guarantee. It runs to the City of Bristol as obligee and stands behind your obligation to build the curb, sidewalk, or apron to city specifications and to restore the right-of-way. If your work fails or you leave the area damaged, the City can recover its repair cost against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the City, you repay the surety. Pricing on the amount Bristol set is 1% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum; the application collects no credit information, and most approvals are instant.

City of Bristol — curb / sidewalk / driveway permitThe City of Bristol requires this bond as a condition of its curb, sidewalk, and driveway permit; the bond amount and restoration terms are set by the City of Bristol (Public Works / Engineering) under its right-of-way ordinance. Confirm the required amount on your permit. We have framed this conservatively rather than citing a specific ordinance number, because Bristol’s permit terms are administered by the City rather than published as a numbered state statute.
