What it is and who needs it.
What the right-of-way bond actually covers
The City of Union, Kentucky controls work in its public streets and rights-of-way through a permit. When a contractor or utility cuts pavement, bores under a road, or excavates in the right-of-way, the city requires a surety bond as a condition of that permit.
The bond is a restoration-and-compliance guarantee to the city: it stands behind your obligation to restore the street to its prior condition, follow the permit conditions, and not leave the public right-of-way damaged or hazardous. The City of Union is the obligee.
If you fail to restore the right-of-way or violate the permit and the city is harmed, it can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. We issue the amount the city set, priced at 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum — not by a credit or underwriting tier.

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 of Union. Submit the executed bond with your right-of-way permit application to the City of Union. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the city insists.
