Road and sewer bonds account for less than 5% of the surety market, which combined with associated legal agreements and the unique nature of the bond beneficiary (Adopting Party), makes it a very specialist insurance-related product. The unique nature of these bonds and technical idiosyncrasies often means that general insurers or brokers are not familiar with how to efficiently present a developers’ requirements to the market or secure efficient terms that offer value against the real risk of a bond.
