What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Moraine requires a right-of-way bond from contractors working in public sidewalks, streets, highways, or roadways under codified ordinance section 901.19. The $10,000 amount satisfies the city's coverage requirement for all of a contractor's projects within one year, rather than a separate bond for each job.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Moraine (the obligee). The bond guarantees that work in the right-of-way is restored to city standards and that the city is made whole for any damage to public infrastructure.
It is not insurance for you — if the city draws on the bond, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore the right-of-way properly treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.

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 $10,000 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; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
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 your Moraine permit. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your right-of-way permit application under section 901.19. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $10,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
