What it is and who needs it.
What the blanket sidewalk & curb cut bond covers
A blanket bond covers all your sidewalk and curb-cut work in Findlay under one filing — instead of posting a single-address bond every time you pull a permit. The City of Findlay Engineering Department publishes a blanket bond form precisely so active contractors are not bonding job by job.
The bond is a three-party guarantee: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Findlay (the obligee). It guarantees that every sidewalk and curb cut you build under the bond meets city standards and that any damage to the public right-of-way is repaired at no cost to the city.
It is not insurance for you. If the city has to repair work you left incomplete or out of spec on any covered job, it can recover against the bond, and you repay the surety. For a busy concrete or paving contractor, the blanket bond is the cleaner, cheaper way to stay permit-ready.

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 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.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
