The City of Shawnee requires a $50,000 performance & maintenance bond from contractors who work in its public right-of-way — it backs both the work and the restoration holding up afterward. Ours is $1,500 flat, which is 3% of the bond amount.
















A right-of-way performance bond is the simplest part of getting started in city streets. Here's the whole process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials and no credit-check section on this bond.
Fixed permit and performance bonds like this are among the thousands that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with City of Shawnee Public Works for your right-of-way work. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$50,000 bond × 3% = $1,500, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
A right-of-way performance & maintenance bond is a two-part guarantee to the City of Shawnee. The performance side backs that you complete the right-of-way work to the city's standards; the maintenance side backs that the restoration — pavement, surface, compaction — holds up for the warranty period afterward.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Shawnee (the obligee). If you fail to complete the work, or the restoration fails during the maintenance period, the city can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who finish the work and stand behind their restoration treat the bond as a permit formality, nothing more.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
