What it is and who needs it.
What the right-of-way bond actually covers
The City of Clio, in Genesee County, controls its streets, sidewalks, and public right-of-way. When a contractor or utility opens pavement, trenches the parkway, or otherwise works within city right-of-way, Clio requires a right-of-way bond as a condition of the permit.
The bond guarantees that you restore the disturbed area to the city’s specification and follow the permit’s terms — backfill, repave, replace what you remove, and leave the right-of-way safe. If you leave an unrestored cut or your work fails, the city can recover against the bond to finish it.
It’s a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety, and the City of Clio (the obligee). It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the city to repair your work, you repay the surety. Enter the amount the city set; premiums start from $100 and no credit check up to $100,000.

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 Clio. Submit the executed bond with your right-of-way or street-opening permit application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the city insists.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
