What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A City of Tulsa temporary use of streets bond is a compliance guarantee to the city. It backs your promise to occupy a street, lane, or sidewalk during construction safely — proper barricades and signage — and to repair any damage and clear the right-of-way when you're done.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Tulsa (the obligee). If a closure damages the street or violates the permit conditions, Tulsa can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who follow Tulsa's street-use permit conditions treat the bond as a routine formality.
