What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
When a contractor opens pavement or works in the public right-of-way in Blue Ash, the City requires a street-opening bond through its Public Works department. The bond stands behind your permit: that you restore the street, sidewalk, or utility cut you disturb and follow the City's right-of-way rules.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Blue Ash (the obligee). If you damage city property and fail to repair it, or leave a restoration unfinished, the City can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the City, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore their cuts and pass inspection treat the bond as a permit formality. The $3,000 amount is set by the City for non-arterial streets; main arterial streets carry a higher amount.
