What it is and who needs it.
What the paving & road maintenance bond actually guarantees
The Town of Ridgefield does not let paving, resurfacing, or significant road maintenance work start on a town road until the applicant obtains a roadway construction permit from the Director of Public Services / Highway Department — and the permit will not issue until the applicant has met the Town’s bond and surety requirements. The bond stands behind the paving quality, road base, and any restoration work the permit requires.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the Town of Ridgefield (the obligee). If the paving or road maintenance is left incomplete or not built to town specifications, Ridgefield can recover against the bond to finish or repair the work.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the town, you repay the surety. We have not cited a specific municipal code section for this requirement because it is administered at the Highway Department permit level; confirm your required amount with the Town, and we will match it.

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 Highway Department. Submit the executed bond with your roadway construction permit application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the Town insists on them.
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.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
