About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A right-of-way performance and completion bond is a guarantee to the City of Oakwood that work you do in the public right-of-way — a street cut, a utility tap, a driveway apron, a sidewalk — gets completed and restored to the City's standards. Oakwood wants a financial backstop before it lets you disturb a public street or curb.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Oakwood (the obligee). If you abandon the work or leave a substandard patch, the City can recover against the bond to finish or repair it.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the City, you repay the surety. Contractors who complete and restore their work properly treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.
