What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Road Sprinkler Fitters and Apprentices Local Union No. 669, headquartered in Landover, Maryland, requires a signatory employer to post a wage and fringe benefits bond as a condition of its collective bargaining agreement. The required limit steps up with the number of reportable hours a signatory employer's Local 669 members work each month — $100,000 is the top bracket, above the $25,000 and $50,000 limits assigned to smaller shops. This is a private contractual requirement of the union, not a Maryland statute or regulation — name the union's benefit funds office, not a code section, as the authority.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Local 669 and its affiliated trust funds (the obligee), protecting members' wages and their pension and health-and-welfare contributions. If a signatory employer fails to pay wages or fund contributions the agreement requires, the union or affected members can claim against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Confirm your assigned $100,000 limit with the union's benefit funds office before filing; if your reportable hours later drop, the office may reassign you to a lower tier and we'll re-issue at that figure.

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 $100,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
