What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
When a contractor or utility works within Menasha's streets and rights-of-way, the City requires a permit and a $10,000 bond. The bond is a public-protection guarantee that you'll restore pavement, curb, and grade to City standards after the work is done.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Menasha (the obligee). If you leave the right-of-way unrestored or damaged, the City can recover restoration costs against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the City, you repay the surety. Contractors who backfill, patch, and restore properly treat the bond as a permit 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 $10,000 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.
