What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Blue Springs controls work in its streets and public right-of-way. Before you excavate, bore, or build in the right-of-way, the City requires a $100,000 permit bond — a restoration guarantee that you'll backfill, repave, and return the surface to City standards once the work is done.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Blue Springs (the obligee). If you leave the right-of-way unrestored or the patch fails within the warranty period, the City can recover against the bond to fix it.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The $100,000 amount reflects the higher-value right-of-way work the City uses this bond for; contractors who restore to spec treat it as a permit formality.

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 $100,000 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; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
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

What sets the price
