What it is and who needs it.
What the right-of-way bond actually covers
The City of Springfield controls work in its public right of way — the streets, sidewalks, and utility corridors the City owns. Before it issues a permit to excavate or occupy that space, Springfield Public Works requires a right-of-way bond as a financial guarantee.
The bond guarantees that you'll restore the right of way to City standards after your work and follow the conditions of the permit. If you leave a cut unrestored or damage public infrastructure and the City has to fix it, the City (the obligee) can recover its cost against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the City, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore their cuts properly treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk. We issue the amount the City set, with premiums starting from $100.
