About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the right-of-way bond actually covers

When you work within the City of Marco Island right-of-way — installing a driveway, running a utility line, trenching for drainage, or repaving — the City issues a right-of-way permit. Its Right-of-Way Handbook lets the City, at its sole discretion, require a bond, letter of credit or other security on that permit. A bond is a performance guarantee: it stands behind the faithful and satisfactory performance of the permitted work, including restoring the road, sidewalk, swale, or utility to City standards, and your proper use of the right-of-way.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Marco Island (the obligee, the party the bond protects). If you leave the right-of-way unrestored, damage public infrastructure, or abandon the permitted work, the City can recover against the bond to make the repairs itself.

The Handbook names no figure: when the City asks for security, it sets the amount on your permit, enough to guarantee the work. Our carrier writes this bond at $25,000 by default. Enter the City’s figure; pricing is 1% of the amount, $100 minimum, confirmed instantly in the calculator.

Marco Island Right-of-Way Handbook, Sec. 2 para. 11; Code §42-76(f)(1)The City’s Construction Standards Handbook for Work Within the Public Right-of-Way (Exhibit A to Ord. No. 15-18, revised by Res. 19-03 and 24-25), which Code §42-76(f)(1) makes a standard for every right-of-way permit, Sec. 2 para. 11: "The City may in its sole and unrestricted discretion require deposit of a bond, letter of credit or other security in a monetary amount sufficient to guarantee the faithful and satisfactory performance of the proposed construction or improvement to be authorized under a right-of-way construction permit and the adequate and proper use of the public right-of-way by the permittee." The Handbook and the City’s permit form name no amount; $25,000 is our carrier’s figure. The Public Works Department reviews and approves right-of-way permits.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Marco Island right-of-way bond?Pricing is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum, so the $25,000 default costs $250. The amount itself is set by the City of Marco Island on your right-of-way permit. Enter that figure and your exact price appears in the calculator.

Who requires this bond?The City of Marco Island, when it chooses to. Its Right-of-Way Handbook, a standard for every right-of-way permit under Code §42-76(f)(1), lets the City require a bond, letter of credit or other security at its sole discretion. The City’s permit form and right-of-way guide list no bond, so you need one only if the City asks.

What does the bond guarantee?That you carry out the permitted work faithfully and satisfactorily, including restoring the road, sidewalk, swale, or drainage you disturb to City standards, and that you use the right-of-way properly. If you do not and the City has to fix it, the City can claim against the bond, and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.

Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information — there's no SSN or credit section to fill out. Most applications like this approve instantly.

What amount should I enter?Use the figure the City set on your Marco Island right-of-way permit. The $25,000 default is the amount our carrier writes this bond at, not a City figure, so change it to match your permit.

Which A-rated carriers underwrite these bonds?Typically Arch Insurance Company (A.M. Best A+) or Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (A.M. Best A). Which one writes your bond depends on the bond type and your state. The carrier's name and official signature are printed on the bond you receive.
