What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Ferndale licenses concrete builders who pour and finish flatwork — sidewalks, drives, approaches — much of it tied into the public right-of-way. The license bond is a workmanship-and-compliance guarantee: it stands behind your obligation to build to the city's standards and code.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Ferndale (the obligee). If your concrete work damages public property or violates the city's construction requirements and you do not make it right, the city can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Concrete builders who pour to spec and clean up treat the $2,500 bond as a license formality, not a risk.

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 $2,500 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.
