What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
When a contractor cuts into a Fort Dodge street under a street opening permit, the city wants assurance the pavement is backfilled, restored, and left safe. The City of Fort Dodge conditions the permit on a $10,000 surety bond as that assurance.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Fort Dodge (the obligee). If you fail to restore the street, damage city infrastructure, or leave the opening unsafe, the city can recover its repair costs against the bond.
If the surety pays the city, you repay the surety — so contractors who restore their cuts properly never see a claim. The amount is fixed at $10,000 by the city; we issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check.
