How does it work?

Napa County Sanitation District Sewer Contractor Bond must be issued by a surety bond provider accredited by the California Department of Insurance. The parties in the agreement are the Principal (applicant), Obligee (Napa County), and Surety/Bond Company (surety bond provider or insurance).

 

The Surety Company will guarantee the compensation (performance bond) of the Obligee should the Principal fail to deliver agreed-upon services or violate any licensing provisions. The Surety Company will receive and assess the validity of all public claims where claims may only amount to the total penal sum arranged in the bond form. The Principal shall reimburse all expenses covered by the Surety Company.

 

The Bond Company is secured through an indemnity agreement as the permit applicant or licensed business will ensure the full reimbursement of the claims, including legal fees and premiums. This agreement shall be made before the execution of the bond.

 

How much does it cost?

Although Napa County does not require a credit check, surety providers will conduct this as part of their underwriting. The Sanitation District Sewer Contractor Bond of Napa County will usually cost around 0.5% of the total bond amount.
