What it is and who needs it.
What the Beaverton right-of-way bond actually guarantees
Beaverton's public rights-of-way — its streets, sidewalks, curbs, gutters, and utility corridors — belong to the city and its residents. BC 9.05.020 bars anyone from performing work, development, excavation, or fill, or from altering streets, sidewalks, curbs, gutters, or utilities, or tampering with pavement inside a right-of-way, easement, or other city property without a permit from the City Engineer first.
The bond required by BC 9.05.070 is performance security: it names the City of Beaverton as obligee and backs your promise to complete the permitted work — driveway cuts, utility trenching, road boring, sidewalk repair, and similar private work in the right-of-way — the way the permit describes it, within the time the City Engineer sets, and to restore the public area to its original condition. If the work is left unfinished or the right-of-way is damaged and not repaired, the city can draw on the bond to complete or correct it.
The code sizes the security to the City Engineer's estimate of the cost of the development the permit governs — there is no single flat dollar figure across every permit. Once your work is substantially complete, a separate, smaller maintenance security may also apply. Enter the bond amount your permit requires; we price it from a $125 minimum, and no credit check up to $100,000.

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
File with the City Engineer. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to attach to your right-of-way permit application. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount plus a $25 fee, $125 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
