City of Baker right-of-way bonds.
$100 flat.
Before you cut a sidewalk, excavate, or otherwise work in the public right of way, the City of Baker requires a $5,000 permit bond guaranteeing you restore the public way when you’re done. The premium is a flat $100, set by our carrier’s rate book for this bond — the bond issues the moment you pay, with no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
When you work in the public right of way in the City of Baker — cutting a sidewalk, boring under a street, or trenching for a utility connection — the city issues a permit conditioned on a $5,000 bond. The bond guarantees you’ll restore the public way to the city’s standard when the work is done.
It’s a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Baker as the obligee. If you leave a cut unrepaired, fail to restore the sidewalk, or damage the right of way and don’t fix it, the city can recover against the bond to make the repair.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the city, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore the right of way to spec treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.
