What it is and who needs it.
What the right-of-way bond guarantees
The City of Mankato registers contractors who work in the public right-of-way and conditions that work on a $5,000 bond. This bond covers general excavation in the right-of-way — opening the street, boulevard, or other public way.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Mankato (the obligee). If you fail to restore a cut, damage public infrastructure, or leave the right-of-way out of compliance, the city can recover its costs against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the city, you repay the surety. We issue the city’s required $5,000 amount at a flat 3%, which lands at our $275 minimum, with no credit check.
