What is this bond?

This performance bond ensures that contractors performing open-cut work within the Ottawa County Road Commission's right-of-way complete the project according to approved plans. It guarantees that the road, pavement, and surrounding infrastructure are properly restored after excavation or utility work.

Who needs it?

Contractors, utility companies, and construction professionals performing open-cut excavations on county roads typically need this bond. It is generally required before the county will issue the necessary right-of-way or construction permits.

Why is it required?

The Ottawa County Road Commission requires this bond to protect public infrastructure from substandard workmanship, incomplete restoration, or abandoned projects. If a contractor fails to properly repair the roadway after an open cut, the bond provides funds for the county to complete the repairs. Since local requirements vary, you must verify the exact terms with the issuing agency.
