What it is and who needs it.
What the City of Mason ROW bond actually guarantees
The City of Mason controls its public right-of-way — the roads, streets, alleys, sidewalks, curbs, and gutters the city maintains. Whenever anyone does work in that right-of-way, including cutting or boring under any paved surface, the City Engineer must first issue a permit, and the bond is submitted as part of that application.
The bond is a restoration-and-compliance guarantee. It stands behind your obligation to do the work to the City of Mason Construction Standards and to restore the right-of-way — the pavement, the surface, the drainage — to the condition the city requires. If you don't, the city can recover its restoration costs against the bond.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Mason (the obligee). It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the city, you repay the surety. The bond stays valid for not less than one year.
