What is this bond?

The City of Bloomington Residential Driveway Installation Bond is a surety bond required for contractors working on residential driveways that intersect with city streets. It guarantees that the driveway installation will be completed safely and according to the city's public works and engineering standards. If the contractor damages the public right-of-way or performs substandard work, the bond provides financial restitution to the municipality.

Who needs it?

This bond is generally required for paving contractors, concrete specialists, and general contractors performing driveway installations in Bloomington, Indiana. Any professional cutting into curbs, sidewalks, or city right-of-ways to construct or modify a residential driveway will likely need to file this bond to obtain a permit.

Why is it required?

The City of Bloomington requires this bond to protect public infrastructure and ensure taxpayer funds are not used to repair incomplete or defective contractor work. It serves as a financial guarantee that contractors will restore any city property, such as sidewalks or utility lines, altered during the installation. Bonding requirements vary, so contractors must verify exact mandates with the local issuing agency.
