It also protects the City in case the contractor otherwise damages curbs, driveway aprons and street asphalt.  Provided that this situation does not arise, the contractor will be able to reclaim the performance bond in its entirety upon completion of the job.  If the contractor washes concrete into the City’s curbs, streets or catch basins, the City will cash the bond to make the necessary repairs.

Provided that no damage occurs, the contractor can reclaim the bond in its entirety upon completion of the job.
