What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Garland requires a sidewalk contractor to post a $2,000 surety bond as a condition of registering and working in the public right-of-way. The bond is a public-property guarantee: it stands behind sidewalk work that meets the city's standards and the proper restoration of the right-of-way you disturb.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Garland (the obligee), with the city as the protected party. If a contractor leaves defective sidewalk work or fails to restore the right-of-way, the city can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond must stay active while you are registered to do sidewalk work in the city, so we track it and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.

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 $2,000 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.
