What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Road Sprinkler Fitters Local Union No. 669, United Association of Journeymen and Apprentices of the Plumbing and Pipe Fitting Industry (headquartered in Columbia, Maryland), requires signatory employers to carry a $25,000 wage-and-fringe-benefits bond as a condition of the collective bargaining agreement covering road sprinkler fitters and apprentices. This is a private contractual requirement between the employer and the union, not a Maryland statute.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal, the signatory employer), the surety carrier, and Local 669 or its designated trustees (the obligee), with covered employees and their benefit funds as the protected interest. If a signatory contractor fails to pay wages or fringe-benefit contributions the agreement requires, the union or fund can make a claim against the bond up to $25,000.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Keep a copy of your bond alongside your collective bargaining agreement, since the exact obligations the bond secures are set by that agreement, not by state law. Confirm the current required amount and named obligee directly with Local 669 or its benefit-fund trustees before you apply.

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 $25,000 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.
