What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
When you cut, dig, or build in the City of Nichols Hills' streets and sidewalks, the City wants assurance you'll restore and repair what you disturb. It conditions a street and sidewalk permit on a $5,000 surety bond — a restoration-and-compliance guarantee standing behind your work in the public right-of-way.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Nichols Hills (the obligee). If you fail to restore a street or sidewalk or leave damage to City property, the City can recover against the bond to make repairs.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore their work sites and follow the City's permit conditions treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.
