What it is and who needs it.
What the Centennial ROW bond guarantees
The City of Centennial requires a right-of-way (ROW) permit for all construction in or occupation of the city right-of-way, issued through its Public Works Department, and conditions that permit on a $20,000 surety bond.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Centennial (the obligee). The bond guarantees you restore any pavement, curb, or infrastructure you disturb to city standards and follow the conditions of your permit.
It is not insurance for you — if the city draws on the bond to fix unrestored work, you repay the surety. Contractors who backfill, repave, and close out permits treat the bond as a permit formality.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $20,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
