What it is and who needs it.
What the right-of-way bond actually guarantees
When you work in the public right-of-way in the City of Clayton, Ohio — opening pavement, boring, trenching, or tapping — the City conditions the permit on a $25,000 surety bond. The bond guarantees you restore the pavement, curb, sidewalk, and right-of-way to City standards.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the City of Clayton (the obligee). If you fail to restore the right-of-way properly, the City can recover its repair costs against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who backfill, compact, and repave to spec treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.
