About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the Cedar Falls right-of-way bond covers

A blanket right-of-way bond is a restoration guarantee to the City of Cedar Falls that covers every right-of-way permit you pull during the term — instead of a separate bond per job. It backs your promise to restore any City street, curb, sidewalk, or right-of-way you disturb to City standard.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Cedar Falls (the obligee). If you fail to restore the right-of-way or leave defective work, the City can recover the cost against the bond.

The City of Cedar Falls sets the bond amount on its blanket right-of-way permit packet. Because this is a blanket bond, we quote it on review of your amount and details, so one bond covers your right-of-way work for the term.

City of Cedar Falls — blanket right-of-way permit, Public WorksThe City of Cedar Falls requires a blanket right-of-way permit bond as a condition of working in its streets and right-of-way; the bond amount and restoration terms are set by the City through its Public Works / Engineering function. Confirm the current amount on your permit packet before filing.

After you buy

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 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.

Renewal and term

Term and renewal are set in the underwriter's quote.

Keep the bond in force for as long as the obligation behind it runs.
