What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A right-of-way bond is a restoration-and-compliance guarantee to the City of Merriam. When you open a street, sidewalk, or other public right-of-way, the city wants a financial backstop that you'll restore the surface and follow the city's right-of-way regulations.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Merriam (the obligee). If you leave a trench unrestored, damage city infrastructure, or otherwise violate the right-of-way rules, the city can recover against the bond.
The City of Merriam ties this bond to statutory renewal dates, so it renews on the city's schedule rather than on the day you happen to buy it. Enter the amount the city set and we issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check.
