What it is and who needs it.
What the restoration deposit bond actually covers
Work in the City of Kansas City right-of-way can require a restoration deposit — money the city holds to guarantee you will repair the pavement, curb, and surface you disturb. Rather than tie up that cash, the city lets you post a restoration deposit performance bond in its place.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Kansas City (the obligee). If you don't restore the right-of-way, the city can recover its repair costs against the bond — up to the deposit amount the city set.
The advantage is your cash stays in your business. You pay a premium starting from $100 instead of parking the full deposit with the city. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety — so contractors who restore their work clean treat the bond as a cash-flow win.

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.
