What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
When a contractor cuts into or works within the public right of way in Sioux Falls — installing or repairing facilities and utilities like water, sewer, gas, fiber, or electric lines — the City requires a $10,000 project-specific bond tied to that work. The bond is a public-protection guarantee: it stands behind your obligation to restore the right of way and complete the permitted work properly.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the City of Sioux Falls (the obligee), with the traveling public as the protected party. If the right of way is left unrestored, the pavement or utility cut is done improperly, or the permit terms are breached, the city can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Because it is project-specific, it is tied to the facilities/utilities work named on your right-of-way permit; we issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check, ready to file.
