What is this bond?

A right-of-way permit bond is a financial guarantee required when performing work on or near public streets, sidewalks, and infrastructure. It guarantees that the contractor will comply with local regulations and properly restore public property to its original condition after the project is complete. If the work is abandoned or defective, the bond provides funds to repair the damages.

Who needs it?

Contractors, utility companies, and construction professionals performing excavation, paving, or maintenance within the public right-of-way in Lawrence, Kansas, typically need this bond. It is generally required before the city will issue the necessary permits to begin work.

Why is it required?

The City of Lawrence requires this bond to protect the municipality and its residents from financial losses caused by incomplete or substandard work on public property. It acts as a safety net to ensure that public infrastructure is fully restored without passing the cost to taxpayers. Specific requirements vary, so applicants should always verify details directly with the issuing agency.
