What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A Bloomington commercial driveway bond is a right-of-way restoration guarantee. A commercial drive approach crosses the public right-of-way and carries heavier traffic — the city sets a higher bond so the apron, sidewalk, and curb are built and restored to its standard.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Bloomington (the obligee). If the right-of-way work is defective or left unrestored and you don't fix it, the city can recover the repair cost against the bond.
The city sets $10,000 for commercial driveway installation — twice the residential amount. A bond must be on file with the Planning and Transportation Department before work begins, so we keep it current and notify you 60 and 30 days out.
