What it is and who needs it.
What the right-of-way bond covers
Edwardsville's Public Works Department requires a bond before work is performed in the public right-of-way — the streets, alleys, and easements the City maintains. The bond stands behind the applicant's compliance with the City's excavation standards and the restoration of any public way disturbed by the work.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Edwardsville (the obligee). If the work is not performed to standard or leaves the right-of-way un-restored, the City can look to the bond to complete or correct the work.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Edwardsville separately bonds excavations tied to sewer installation at a higher figure; if your project involves a sewer tap, confirm with Public Works which filing applies to your specific work.
