About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A performance and maintenance bond is a completion-and-durability guarantee. When a developer or contractor builds public improvements — streets, storm sewers, sidewalks, and the like — within the City of Leawood, KS, the city conditions its approval on a bond that the improvements will be completed to the approved plans and will hold up through the maintenance / warranty period.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Leawood (the obligee). If the improvements are not completed, or defects appear during the maintenance period and are not corrected, the city can recover against the bond to finish or repair the work.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Developers who build to the approved plans and stand behind the maintenance period treat the bond as a routine condition of city approval.

City of Leawood, KS — Public Works / ImprovementsThe City of Leawood, KS requires this performance and maintenance bond as a condition of approving public improvements; the bond amount and terms are set by the City of Leawood and its Public Works / engineering department, generally from the estimated cost of the improvements. We have not cited a specific ordinance number because the governing municipal code section was not verifiable at publication — confirm the amount on your Leawood improvement agreement.
