What this bond does
This permit-related surety bond addresses the obligation stated in Akron’s required bond form for the proposed right-of-way work. Akron’s construction permit application says construction and removal bonds may be required when a permit is requested to install additional systems or part of a system.
- Who needs it
- The business or authorized applicant arranging right-of-way construction in Akron when the city requests this bond. A private-property job or a general contractor registration is a different starting point.
- Who it protects
- The bond secures the city-facing obligation described in the executed form. It is separate from insurance for the contractor’s own tools, equipment or liability.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Questions about this bond
Does every Akron construction job need this bond?
The right-of-way application describes bonds that may be required for installation of additional systems. Use the requirement attached to your right-of-way permit; do not apply that language to every construction job in Akron.
Is a right-of-way bond the same as permission to start digging?
No. The bond is part of the financial security requested for the work. The permit, plans and other city conditions still govern permission to proceed.
What amount should I enter when purchasing?
Use the amount in the city’s request for your work. Keep any separate construction and removal amounts distinct, and review the quoted premium before paying.
Where does the issued bond go?
Deliver it to the city recipient identified in your permit instructions, with the project or application reference. Keep the accepted copy with your permit records.
