What it is and who needs it.
What the right-of-way bond actually guarantees
A single-job right-of-way bond is a restoration guarantee for one job. When you cut into West Liberty streets or work in the public right-of-way for a specific project, the City wants a financial backstop that the surface gets restored to City standards once the job is done.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of West Liberty (the obligee). If you leave a trench unrestored or a patch fails, the City can complete the restoration and recover the cost against the bond.
Because it is a single-job bond, it covers one permitted project rather than your ongoing work. The amount is sized to that job, and the bond stays in force until the City accepts the restoration.

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
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the City. Submit the executed bond with your West Liberty right-of-way permit. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the City insists on them.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $100,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
