About this bond

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 the 3% premium 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.
