What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Oklahoma City prequalifies the contractors who install and repair public water mains, and conditions Class "D" water pipeline prequalification on a $25,000 surety bond filed with its Public Works Department. The bond is a compliance-and-performance guarantee standing behind your work in the City's water system and rights-of-way.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the City of Oklahoma City (the obligee). If you damage City infrastructure, fail to restore a right-of-way, or otherwise violate the terms of your prequalification, the City can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who follow the City's water standards and restore their work sites treat the bond as a prequalification formality, not a risk.

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 $25,000 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.
