About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A sidewalk and curb bond is a restoration and workmanship guarantee. When you build or replace sidewalks, curbs, driveways, gutters, or drains in the public right-of-way, the Township of Bloomfield wants assurance the work meets township standard and that any damage to the right-of-way is repaired.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Township of Bloomfield (the obligee). If your work fails inspection or you leave the right-of-way damaged, the township can recover its repair cost against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the township, you repay the surety. Contractors who build to standard and pass inspection treat it as a permit formality. We issue the $2,000 amount for $100 flat, with no credit check in the application.

After you buy

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 $2,000 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

File with Bloomfield. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your Township of Bloomfield permit application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.

What sets the price

The premium is fixed at $100 at the $2,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
