What this bond does
The December 2025 sample secures performance of the erosion/sediment activities required by the approved plan and Code Chapter 8 within their specified time. It is project control security, not general contractor licensing or a guarantee of all construction contracts.
- Who needs it
- The developer identified in the county's security request. The form also names the landowner, project, engineering firm and plan date, and makes the County of Chesterfield the obligee.
- Who it protects
- The sample gives the county the choice of specified default remedies and limits rights of action to the obligee and successors/assigns. Do not describe it as general liability protection for everyone on or near the property.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Questions about this bond
Must the developer and property owner be the same?
The reviewed sample provides separate identities. Do not replace one with the other without the county's project request and accepted form.
Can I cancel by sending 60 days' notice?
The sample instead uses the county environmental engineer's adequate-completion notice received by the surety, followed by 60 days, with accrued liability preserved. It is not a general applicant cancellation clause.
