What is this bond?

A Blanket Right of Way or Street Opening bond is a type of surety bond required by local municipalities to guarantee that contractors properly restore public property after completing work. It provides financial assurance that any damage to streets, sidewalks, or public right-of-ways will be repaired to city standards. If the contractor fails to perform these repairs, the bond protects the local government from financial loss.

Who needs it?

Contractors, utility companies, and construction professionals performing excavation or construction work within the public right-of-way in Wapakoneta typically need this bond. It is often required before the city will issue a permit for street openings, curb cuts, or utility installations. Applicants should verify specific permit and bonding requirements directly with the local building or engineering department.

Why is it required?

The obligee requires this bond to protect public infrastructure and taxpayer funds from substandard workmanship or incomplete projects. It ensures that contractors follow all local building codes and safely restore the right-of-way to its original or better condition. By requiring this bond, the municipality guarantees that it will not have to cover the financial cost of repairing abandoned or poorly executed street work.

Applying for your surety bond is simple and can be done entirely from your computer or mobile device. Just click Apply Now to complete a secure online application in about five minutes. Once processed and approved, your bond will be delivered directly to your email so you can submit it to the city.

  • ⚠Allowing the bond to expire before the street restoration work is completely finished and approved by the city.
