What it is and who needs it.
What the right-of-way bond covers
When you excavate, cut pavement, or build in the public right of way in the City of Redmond, 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 Redmond (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 Redmond set, from $100, with no credit fields in the application.
