The City of Smithville, Missouri conditions work in the public right of way on a $25,000 performance and maintenance bond. It is a two-part guarantee to the city: that you'll perform the right-of-way work correctly, and that you'll maintain and warrant the restoration for a set period after.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Smithville (the obligee). If you leave the right of way defective, fail to restore pavement and curb, or the restoration fails during the maintenance period, the city can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore the right of way to standard and hold up through the warranty period treat the bond as a permit formality.
These are the actual underwriting fields, including a one-time consent to a soft credit pull. Submit once and your bond is typically issued within 1–2 business days.
