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.

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 $10,000 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.
