What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Fairborn registers contractors who work in its public right-of-way — the streets, easements, and rights-of-way the city maintains — and conditions that registration on a $10,000 surety bond filed with Public Works.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Fairborn (the obligee). If your work damages city pavement, utilities, or the right-of-way and you don't restore it, the city can recover against the bond — the bond guarantees you'll restore the right-of-way and follow Fairborn's construction standards.
It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore the right-of-way and follow the city's specifications treat the bond as a registration formality, not a risk. We track the term and notify you 60 and 30 days out.
