What it is and who needs it.
What the ROW bond actually guarantees
The City of Lee's Summit controls its public streets, sidewalks, and utility right-of-way, and conditions a right-of-way permit on a $5,000 surety bond. The bond is required before you perform any work in the City's rights of way — an excavation, a utility trench, a sidewalk improvement.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Lee's Summit (the obligee). The bond guarantees that the permitted work is completed properly and that the right-of-way is restored to City standards. If you fail to, the City can recover against the bond to make the necessary repairs.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a City claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who backfill, repave, and restore to standard treat the bond as a permit formality.
