About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the right-of-way performance bond actually covers

A permit- and job-specific right-of-way performance bond is a restoration and performance guarantee tied to one permit. When you open or occupy an Olympia street, sidewalk, or utility strip, the City wants a financial backstop that you'll complete that job and restore the right-of-way to City standards.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Olympia (the obligee). If you fail to perform or restore the right-of-way for that permit, the City can recover its costs against the bond.

Because the bond is specific to the permit and job, the amount the City sets is tied to that scope of work. We issue that amount pricing from $100 with no credit information collected on the application, ready to file with the City of Olympia.
