Menasha right-of-way bonds.
$100 flat.

The City of Menasha requires a $10,000 bond for a right-of-way permit — when a contractor or utility excavates, opens, or otherwise works within City streets and rights-of-way. Ours is $100 flat — the price our carrier's rate book sets for this bond, and the price you see is the checkout price. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

When a contractor or utility works within Menasha's streets and rights-of-way, the City requires a permit and a $10,000 bond. The bond is a public-protection guarantee that you'll restore pavement, curb, and grade to City standards after the work is done.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Menasha (the obligee). If you leave the right-of-way unrestored or damaged, the City can recover restoration costs against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the City, you repay the surety. Contractors who backfill, patch, and restore properly treat the bond as a permit formality.

City of Menasha — Public WorksThe City of Menasha requires a $10,000 surety bond as a condition of its right-of-way / excavation permit; the bond amount and terms are set by the City of Menasha Public Works department and named on the City's permit. Confirm the current requirement with the City before filing.
