What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A performance bond is a completion guarantee. The City of Emerson wants assurance that the public improvements or permitted work tied to your project get finished to the city's plans and specifications.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Emerson (the obligee). If you fail to complete the work, the city can claim against the bond to finish it, up to the bond amount.
The bond is tied to your contract or development agreement with the city. We size it to whatever Emerson requires and get it filed so your project can move forward.

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

What sets the price
The premium is 2% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
