About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A Memphis cement workers bond is a public-works protection guarantee. When you pour concrete in or upon the City of Memphis's streets, alleys, sidewalks, and public ways, the city wants a financial backstop that the work follows its rules and that the public right-of-way is left in proper condition.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Memphis (the obligee), with the public as the protected party. If a cement worker fails to follow the city's regulations for concrete work in public ways, or leaves damage behind, the city can recover against the bond.

The bond must stay active for as long as you hold the city permit. Let it lapse and the city can pull your authority to do cement work — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $15,000 filing continuous.
