What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Macon-Bibb County conditions street and sidewalk right-of-way work on a $25,000 surety bond. When a contractor cuts pavement, excavates, or builds in the public right-of-way, the county wants a backstop that the work — and the restoration of the street or sidewalk — is done to county standards.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Macon-Bibb County (the obligee), with the public protected. If a contractor damages public infrastructure or fails to restore a cut properly, the county can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore the right-of-way to standard treat the bond as a permit formality, and we keep your $25,000 filing continuous with renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.
