What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Any excavation, utility installation, driveway apron, or other work that touches Peoria's streets, sidewalks, or public right-of-way requires a permit from the City's Public Works Department, and Public Works conditions that permit on a $10,000 surety bond. The bond stands behind proper restoration of the right-of-way and compliance with the permit's conditions.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Peoria (the obligee), with the City and the public as the protected interest. If a permittee damages the right-of-way and fails to restore it, or otherwise breaches the permit's bonded conditions, a claim can be brought against the bond up to the $10,000 penal sum.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a valid claim, you repay the surety. The bond must stay active for the life of your permit, so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out to keep your filing continuous.

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 $10,000 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.
