Hartford, CT Sidewalk & Curb Performance and Payment Bond
Overview
Contractors working on Hartford sidewalks and curbs need this bond before they can touch city right-of-way. It guarantees both performance — that the work gets done correctly — and payment — that subcontractors and suppliers get paid. Hartford's Department of Public Works requires this bond as a condition of the permit, not as a general state mandate. Get it in place before your project moves forward.
Who Needs This Bond?
You've been awarded a sidewalk or curb construction contract in Hartford and the city is asking for a Performance and Payment Bond before you can begin. Any contractor — general or specialty — performing sidewalk repair, curb replacement, or related paving work within Hartford's public right-of-way falls under this requirement. This applies whether you're working for a private property owner who must restore city infrastructure or directly under a city-issued contract. If Hartford's permit desk sent you here, this is your bond.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects two groups simultaneously. The performance component protects the City of Hartford, guaranteeing that the contracted sidewalk and curb work will be completed to city standards. The payment component protects subcontractors, laborers, and material suppliers, ensuring they are paid even if the principal defaults. Hartford uses this dual-obligation bond to safeguard both public infrastructure quality and the trade partners who build it.
When is it Required?
Before a single shovel breaks ground, this bond must already be filed with the City of Hartford. The permit will not issue — and work cannot legally start — until the city has the executed bond in hand. Waiting until the last minute creates project delays. Buy this bond now, submit it to the city, and keep your schedule intact.
Where Does it Apply?
This is a City of Hartford requirement and applies only within Hartford's municipal boundaries. It is not a Connecticut state license bond and does not satisfy permit requirements in any other Connecticut city or town. If you are performing similar work in a different municipality, that jurisdiction will require its own bond.
