What it is and who needs it.
What the Waterbury concessionaire bond actually guarantees
A concessionaire operating a food, beverage, or service stand on Waterbury property — a park, a city facility, or a city-run event — does so under a concession agreement or permit, and the City of Waterbury conditions that arrangement on a surety bond. The bond backs your performance of the agreement’s terms and gives the City recourse if a concessionaire’s conduct causes a covered loss.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Waterbury (the obligee), with the City and the public as the protected parties. If a concessionaire fails to meet the agreement’s obligations, the City or a harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Waterbury’s parks and recreation staff set the bond amount as part of the concession agreement rather than by a fixed citywide ordinance figure; confirm your required amount and term with the City department overseeing your concession, and we issue what it requires.
