What it is and who needs it.
What the work in public streets bond covers
The City of Raleigh controls its streets and public right-of-way through its Public Works / right-of-way permitting. Before you cut pavement, excavate, or work in a city street, Raleigh requires a bond that stands behind restoring the street and right-of-way to city standards.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Raleigh (the obligee). If you damage the right-of-way, fail to restore a street cut, or leave work that harms the public, the city can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We issue the amount the City of Raleigh set, at a flat 3% with no credit check, on the bond form the city names.
