What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
When a developer or contractor builds public improvements in Savannah that the City will accept and maintain — streets, storm and sanitary sewers, waterlines — the City conditions the work on a performance & maintenance bond. The performance side guarantees the improvements get built to City standards; the maintenance side backs them against defects for a set period after the City accepts the work.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the City of Savannah (the obligee). If the work is not completed to standard, or defects appear during the maintenance period, the City can recover against the bond to make the improvements right.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the City a claim, you repay the surety. Because the amount is tied to your project, enter the figure the City set on your approval and the premium updates at a flat 3%.
