About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

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.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Shawnee right-of-way performance bond? +
The premium is $1,500 — a flat 3% of the $50,000 bond amount, the same for every contractor. The $50,000 is set by the city, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $50,000? +
No. You pay $1,500. The $50,000 is the surety's maximum liability to the City of Shawnee if a valid claim is made — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
What does "performance & maintenance" cover? +
Performance backs that you complete the right-of-way work to the city's standards; maintenance backs that your restoration holds up through the warranty period afterward. Both are covered by the one bond.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. This fixed-amount permit bond doesn't need one.
When does it renew? +
The bond must stay active through your performance and maintenance obligations. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available.
