What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The Town of Wilton controls road openings in its public right-of-way through its Department of Public Works. Before a contractor opens or trenches a town road, Wilton conditions the permit on a surety bond sized to the work.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Town of Wilton (the obligee). The bond guarantees you will backfill, repave, and restore the road to the Town’s specification, so Wilton is not left paying to fix a trench you walked away from.
The Town sets the bond amount to the scope of the project, so it is not a single fixed figure, and the premium is priced by that amount — 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum, not a credit or underwriting tier. It is not insurance for you — if Wilton makes a valid claim and the surety pays, you repay the surety. Enter the amount the Town gave you and see your exact price at the application.

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 Wilton Public Works. Submit the executed bond to the Town of Wilton Department of Public Works with your road opening permit. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the Town insists.
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.
