What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A performance and maintenance bond is a completion-and-durability guarantee. When a developer or contractor builds public improvements — streets, storm sewers, sidewalks, and the like — within the City of Leawood, KS, the city conditions its approval on a bond that the improvements will be completed to the approved plans and will hold up through the maintenance / warranty period.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Leawood (the obligee). If the improvements are not completed, or defects appear during the maintenance period and are not corrected, the city can recover against the bond to finish or repair the work.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Developers who build to the approved plans and stand behind the maintenance period treat the bond as a routine condition of city approval.

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.
