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; no credit check up to $100,000, and most approvals are instant.

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 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.
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 Bristol. Submit the executed bond with your curb / sidewalk / driveway permit. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the City insists.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $100,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
