About this bond

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.

City of Wausau — Public Works / EngineeringThe City of Wausau requires a $3,000 surety bond as a condition of doing concrete work in the public right-of-way; the bond amount and terms are set by the City of Wausau Public Works / Engineering department and named on the City's right-of-way / concrete contractor registration. Confirm the current requirement with the City before filing.
