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.
