What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A sidewalk and curb performance and payment bond is a two-part guarantee to the City of Hartford. The performance side backs that you complete the sidewalk and curb work to the City's standards; the payment side backs that those who supply labor and materials to the job get paid.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Hartford (the obligee). If you leave the work unfinished or defective, or fail to pay your suppliers, the City and protected parties can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who finish the work and pay their suppliers treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.
