What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Evergreen Park licenses sewer and drain-laying contractors separately from its general and electrical contractor categories, and conditions that license on a $20,000 surety bond — the highest of the Village's contractor tiers. The bond stands behind the contractor's compliance with the Village's sewer and water-utility permit requirements.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Evergreen Park (the obligee), with the Village and harmed property owners as the protected parties. If a sewer contractor's work causes covered damage or leaves permit conditions unmet, the Village can present a claim against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Evergreen Park's contractor bonds renew on a statutory schedule set by the Village rather than a fixed one-year anniversary, so the term you select determines your next renewal date; we track it and notify you before it lapses.

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 $20,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The bond runs to December 31 whatever day you buy; the premium covers the period to that date.
Renewal falls on the statutory date, December 31, in the year your term ends.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
