What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The Township of Genesee requires a fidelity and performance bond from contractors who tap into, extend, or repair its sanitary sewer and water line systems. The bond is a performance guarantee that the work is done to the Township’s standards and that the public infrastructure is protected and properly restored.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Township of Genesee (the obligee). If a contractor damages the system, fails to complete the connection properly, or violates the Township’s sewer and water requirements, the Township can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who follow the Township’s sewer and water specifications treat the bond as a permit 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 $10,000 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.
How to file it

What sets the price
