What it is and who needs it.
What the Akron construction & removal bond covers
The City of Akron controls work in its public right-of-way — the streets, sidewalks, tree lawns, and underground space the city owns. Before you open a street, set a dumpster, occupy a lane, or remove material, the City requires a construction and removal bond tied to your permit.
The bond runs to the City of Akron as obligee. It guarantees you will restore the right-of-way to the City's standard and won't leave the public to pay for damage, an unfilled cut, or an abandoned job. If you fail to restore, the City can recover its repair cost against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the City, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore cleanly and close out their permits treat the bond as a permit formality. We issue the amount the City set; pricing is 1% of that amount, with a $100 minimum.

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.
How to file it

What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $50,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
