What it is and who needs it.
What the Groton contractor bond covers
When you work in a Groton road, right of way, or under a town permit, the Town of Groton wants a financial guarantee that you will complete the work, restore the surface, and follow the conditions of your permit. The bond is posted with your contractor permit or registration through the Department of Public Works.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Town of Groton (the obligee). If you leave work unrestored, damage town infrastructure, or abandon a permit, the town can recover its costs against the bond.
It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays the town, you repay the surety. Contractors who finish their work and close out their permits treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.
