What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Madison licenses contractors who do concrete laying, asphalt paving, landscape paving and mudjacking — much of which touches city pavement, terraces, and the public right of way. The license is conditioned on a $5,000 surety bond.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Madison (the obligee). If your work damages city infrastructure or fails to meet the city's standards and the city must make it right, it can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the city, you repay the surety. Licensed pavers and mudjackers who do clean work treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk.
