What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Concrete work in Wausau's public right-of-way — sidewalk, curb, gutter, driveway aprons — requires City registration and a standing $3,000 bond. The bond is a public-protection guarantee that your concrete work meets City standards and the right-of-way is properly restored.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Wausau (the obligee). If your work is defective or the public way is left damaged, the City can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the City, you repay the surety. Contractors who pour to spec and restore the right-of-way 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 $3,000 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.
