What it is and who needs it.
What the right-of-way permit bond covers
The City of Oklahoma City requires a right-of-way permit bond from contractors and utilities who cut, bore, or excavate in the public right-of-way. The bond guarantees you restore the pavement, sidewalk, or parkway to the city's standards and leave the right-of-way safe.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Oklahoma City (the obligee). If you fail to restore the right-of-way or damage public property, the city can recover its repair costs against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the city, you repay the surety. We issue the amount the City of Oklahoma City set; premiums are 1% of that amount, with a $100 minimum.

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 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.
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

What sets the price
