What it is and who needs it.
What the right-of-way bond actually covers
The City of Canal Winchester requires a surety bond for sidewalk and drive-approach work in the public right-of-way before it will issue a permit. The bond guarantees you'll build to the city's standards and restore the right-of-way after the work.
Drive approaches and sidewalks sit in the public right-of-way, so the city wants a financial backstop that the concrete and grading meet code and that any damage to adjacent public infrastructure is repaired.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Canal Winchester (the obligee). We issue the amount the city set, with premiums calculated at 1% of that amount, $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
File with the city. Submit the executed bond to the City of Canal Winchester to satisfy your right-of-way permit. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
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 $100,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
