What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A right-of-way obstruction bond is a restoration and safety guarantee. When you place a dumpster, scaffold, staging, or materials in a City of Oshkosh street or sidewalk, the bond promises the City that you'll keep the obstruction safe and restore the right-of-way to its prior condition.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Oshkosh (the obligee). If an obstruction damages the right-of-way or the City must remove or repair it, the City can recover its costs against the bond.
This is an annual bond — one filing covers your obstructions across the year rather than a single placement. We track it and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $5,000 filing continuous.

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 $5,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The bond runs to December 31 whatever day you buy; the premium covers the period to that date.
Renewal falls on the statutory date, December 31, in the year your term ends.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
