What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A side sewer contractor connects private side sewers to the City of Redmond's sewer main. The city wants a financial backstop that you'll do the work to city standards, restore the right-of-way, and follow your registration and permit conditions.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Redmond (the obligee). If a contractor's defective work damages the city system or the right-of-way and is not corrected, 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 build to spec and restore the site treat the bond as a registration formality.

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 $5,000 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.
