What it is and who needs it.
What the right-of-way bond guarantees
The City of Mankato registers contractors who use the public right-of-way and conditions that use on a $5,000 bond. This bond covers obstructing and/or occupying the right-of-way — staging materials, scaffolding, dumpsters, closures, and similar temporary uses.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Mankato (the obligee). If you damage public improvements, fail to clear the right-of-way, or leave it 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 $100 flat — set by our carrier’s rate book, not a percentage — and the application collects no credit information.
