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.
