What it is and who needs it.
What the right-of-way bond actually covers
The City of Manassas controls its streets and public right-of-way. When a contractor excavates or opens that right-of-way — to lay utilities, tap a main, or run a service line — the City requires a permit bond before it issues the right-of-way and excavation permit.
It is a three-party guarantee: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Manassas (the obligee). The bond guarantees you complete the permitted work and restore the right-of-way to City standards — backfill, compact, and repave so the public way is left whole.
It is not insurance for you. If you leave a failed restoration and the City repairs it, the City recovers against the bond, and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. Contractors who close out their excavation permits cleanly treat the bond as a permit formality.
