What is this bond?

A City of Chesapeake Right of Way Permit Bond is a financial guarantee required by the city before contractors can perform work on public property, streets, or sidewalks. It ensures that the right of way is properly restored to its original condition after the project is completed. If the contractor fails to repair the public property, the bond provides funds for the city to complete the necessary repairs.

Who needs it?

Contractors, utility companies, and developers planning to excavate, construct, or perform maintenance within the public right of way in Chesapeake, Virginia, typically need this bond. It is generally required as part of the permitting process before starting any work on city-owned roads or sidewalks.

Why is it required?

The City of Chesapeake requires this bond to protect public infrastructure and taxpayer funds from damage caused by private construction projects. It acts as a safety net, guaranteeing that any disrupted roads, curbs, or sidewalks are repaired to city standards. Without this bond, the financial burden of incomplete or substandard restorations would fall on the local municipality.
