What it is and who needs it.
What the Warrenton right-of-way bond actually guarantees
City of Warrenton Code Title 12 (Streets, Sidewalks and Public Places) governs activity on the city's public streets, sidewalks, and rights-of-way. In most cases, a permit from the city is required before that work can begin, and the permit is issued only to a duly licensed, bonded contractor holding a current City of Warrenton business license with proof of liability and workers' compensation insurance — a narrow exception lets a non-contractor property owner do minor work (capped in scope and depth) without one.
The bond backs your promise to perform the permitted work — excavation, restoration, or other street and right-of-way activity — according to the conditions the Public Works Department sets, and to restore any disturbed public area to a satisfactory condition. If the restoration isn't satisfactory and Public Works has to step in, the city can look to the bond (in addition to any separate cash security the permit may call for) to cover the cost.
Because Title 12 sets permit conditions case by case rather than one fixed citywide dollar figure, enter the bond amount your Public Works permit specifies; we price it from a $100 minimum. 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 Public Works. 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.
