About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the blanket ROW bond actually covers

When you cut, bore, trench, or connect within the City of Davenport’s public right-of-way — for utilities, driveways, drainage, or paving — the City issues a right-of-way / construction permit and wants assurance that you will restore the street, curb, sidewalk, and grade to City standard afterward.

A blanket bond covers all of your permitted ROW work over the term, instead of a separate bond per permit. If you damage the right-of-way and fail to restore it, the City can complete the repair and recover the cost against the bond.

You (the principal) post the bond, an A-rated surety stands behind it, and the City of Davenport is the obligee. We issue the amount the City set, pricing from $100 with no credit information collected in the application at standard amounts.
