What is this bond?

The Missouri Highway and Transportation Commission Right of Way Performance Bond is a surety bond that guarantees contractors will complete work within or adjacent to state highway right-of-ways according to approved plans. It ensures that public property is properly restored and any damages caused during the project are repaired.

Who needs it?

Contractors, utility companies, and developers performing construction, excavation, or installations within a Missouri state highway right-of-way typically need this bond. It is generally required before the state will issue the necessary permits to begin work on or near public roads.

Why is it required?

The Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission requires this bond to protect the state and its taxpayers from financial loss if a contractor fails to complete right-of-way work properly. It provides a financial guarantee that public infrastructure will be repaired to state standards without shifting the burden of cost onto the public.
