What it is and who needs it.
What the ROW bond actually covers
The City of Kansas City controls a large network of parks, boulevards, and parkways through its Parks & Recreation Department. Any contractor or utility that excavates, bores, or builds within that right-of-way must guarantee the work — and the restoration after it — with a performance and maintenance bond.
The bond is a guarantee to the City: that you complete the permitted work properly, and that you maintain the restored right-of-way — pavement, landscaping, irrigation — for the maintenance period the Department sets. If you walk away or the restoration fails, the City can recover against the bond to put it right.
The amount is set by the Parks & Recreation Department based on the scope and cost of the work, and the bond is priced at 2% of that amount, $100 minimum — same rate for every applicant, shown exactly in the on-page calculator.

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 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.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
