The City of Bowling Green requires a $5,000 bond of contractors doing asphalt and concrete work that affects its streets, sidewalks, and right-of-way. Ours is $100 flat — the price you see is the checkout price. The application collects no credit information.
















A municipal contractor bond is about the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
Contractor bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with Bowling Green's public works / building department. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
An asphalt and concrete contractor bond is a public-property guarantee. When you pour or pave near the City of Bowling Green's streets, curbs, and sidewalks, the city wants a financial backstop that the work meets its standards and the public surfaces are restored properly.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Bowling Green (the obligee). If asphalt or concrete work damages the right-of-way, fails to meet city specs, or violates the permit terms, the city can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who pour and pave to spec treat the bond as a registration formality, not a risk.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit section, because this bond doesn't have one.
