What it is and who needs it.
What the Dearborn Heights right-of-way bond covers
A right-of-way bond is a restoration guarantee to the City of Dearborn Heights. When you cut pavement, open a trench, or work in a city street, sidewalk, or curb, the city wants a financial backstop that the right-of-way will be restored to its standard and that you will follow your permit conditions.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Dearborn Heights (the obligee). If you damage public infrastructure and fail to repair it, the city can recover its restoration costs against the bond.
A blanket bond is the version for contractors who pull permits all year — one filing covers every Dearborn Heights right-of-way permit for the term, rather than a separate bond per job. It is not insurance for you: if the surety pays the city, you repay the surety.

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.
