What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Fort Worth requires a $25,000 bond of contractors who install, repair, or maintain its streets and storm drains — sidewalks, curbs, gutters, driveways, culverts, storm sewers, and drainage structures. The bond guarantees the work is completed and kept in good condition.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Fort Worth (the obligee). You are obligated to perform according to Fort Worth ordinances for the life of the bond and to maintain the work for two years after completion — defective materials or poor workmanship must be repaired or replaced in that window.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim for unfinished or defective work, you repay the surety. The bond must stay active for as long as you're registered, so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out.
