What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
When a contractor opens pavement or works in the public right-of-way in Blue Ash, the City requires a street-opening bond through its Public Works department. The bond stands behind your permit: that you restore the street, sidewalk, or utility cut you disturb and follow the City's right-of-way rules.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Blue Ash (the obligee). If you damage city property and fail to repair it, or leave a restoration unfinished, the City can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the City, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore their cuts and pass inspection treat the bond as a permit formality. The $3,000 amount is set by the City for non-arterial streets; main arterial streets carry a higher amount.

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 $3,000 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.
