What it is and who needs it.
What the right-of-way bond actually covers
A right-of-way bond is a public-property restoration guarantee. When you cut into a Lawrence street, sidewalk, or right-of-way for utility or site work, the City wants a financial backstop that you'll backfill, repave, and restore the surface to City standards.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Lawrence (the obligee). If you leave a cut unrestored or damage City property, the City can recover against the bond to make the repair.
The City sets the amount on your permit, usually tied to the cost of restoring the right-of-way. We issue that amount at a flat 3% with no credit check, ready to file with your permit.
