What it is and who needs it.
What the sidewalk contractor bond actually covers
A sidewalk contractor bond is a restoration-and-workmanship guarantee to the Town of Hamden. When you pour or repair sidewalks, curbs, and driveway aprons in the public right of way, Hamden wants a financial backstop that the work meets town standards and the right of way is restored.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Town of Hamden (the obligee). If you leave defective sidewalk work or damage the right of way, the Town can recover against the bond to correct it.
Because the figure is set by the Town rather than a single statewide statute, you enter whatever amount Hamden names and we price the bond at 1% of that amount, $100 minimum — the same honest pricing as every bond we write.

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.
