What is this bond?

The City of Harrisburg Right of Way bond is a financial guarantee required for contractors performing work within public streets, sidewalks, or other municipal easements. It ensures that any disruption to public property is properly repaired to the city's standards once the project is complete. This bond protects the local government and the public from substandard workmanship or unfinished infrastructure repairs.

Who needs it?

Contractors, utility companies, and construction professionals planning to excavate, repair, or alter public spaces in Harrisburg typically need this bond. It is generally required before the city will issue a right of way, excavation, or street opening permit.

Why is it required?

The City of Harrisburg requires this bond as a safeguard to ensure that public infrastructure is fully restored after construction activities. If a contractor damages public property or fails to complete the restoration, the bond provides funds to the city to cover the repair costs. This effectively protects local taxpayers from bearing the financial burden of incomplete or defective right of way work.
