What it is and who needs it.
What the right-of-way bond covers
When you excavate, cut pavement, or work in the public right of way in the City of Ellensburg, the City conditions the permit on a surety bond. The bond is a public-protection guarantee that you will restore the right of way to City standards and leave it safe.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Ellensburg (the obligee). If you fail to backfill, repave, or repair the right of way properly — or leave a hazard — the City can recover its restoration cost against the bond.
It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays the City, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore the right of way to City spec treat the bond as a permit formality. We issue the amount Ellensburg set, from $100, with no credit check up to $100,000 in the application.

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.

What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $100,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
