What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A Bloomington storage bond is a right-of-way protection guarantee. Placing a dumpster, POD, or construction materials in the public right-of-way occupies and can damage the surface — the city wants assurance the area is kept safe 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 is damaged or left unrestored and you don't fix it, the city can recover the cost against the bond.
The city sets $5,000 for storing dumpsters or construction materials in the right-of-way. A bond must be on file with the Planning and Transportation Department for the permit, so we keep it current and notify you 60 and 30 days out.
