What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Bartlesville requires driveway, sidewalk and street contractors to be licensed and bonded before constructing or repairing pavement in the public right-of-way. The $1,000 bond is a workmanship and right-of-way guarantee: it stands behind your compliance with the city's construction standards and your restoration of public property.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Bartlesville (the obligee). If a contractor leaves defective work in the right-of-way or damages public infrastructure and fails to repair it, the city can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We keep the $1,000 filing continuous and notify you 60 and 30 days before expiration.

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 $1,000 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.
