About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the Moorhead sidewalk bond covers

The City of Moorhead controls work in its public right-of-way, and conditions a concrete sidewalk permit on a surety bond. The bond is a permit / performance guarantee: it stands behind your work meeting the City’s sidewalk construction standards and the right-of-way being restored when you finish.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Moorhead (the obligee). If a contractor leaves defective sidewalk, fails to restore the right-of-way, or damages public improvements, the City can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the City, you repay the surety. Contractors who pour to spec and clean up treat the bond as a routine permit formality, not a risk.

City of Moorhead — sidewalk / right-of-way permitThe City of Moorhead requires this bond as a condition of its concrete sidewalk and public right-of-way permit; the bond amount and terms are set by the City of Moorhead Engineering / Public Works office.
