What this bond does

This offering is for the performance security accompanying covered work in the City of Centerville, Ohio public right-of-way. The city identifies sidewalk and driveway-approach improvements as work requiring its right-of-way permit.

Who needs it
Contractors arranging a Centerville right-of-way permit, including those hired by a property owner to improve the public approach or sidewalk.
Who it protects
The city describes the required security as a performance bond. Obtain its accepted condition to identify the precise work and remedies secured; it should not be presented as a guarantee of every private construction obligation.

Your bond option

This is the option on record for this bond.

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.

Check where the work crosses into public land

The city's right-of-way includes more than the traveled street. Sidewalks, tree lawns and public utilities may be within it even when the adjoining owner maintains the area.

Describe the exact work and ask Public Works to confirm the applicable boundary and permit. A private driveway project can include a public approach, while ownership and maintenance responsibility do not establish permission to build there.

Prepare the $5,000 performance security

Centerville's published instructions call for contractors to submit a $5,000 performance bond and a certificate of insurance. Get the current accepted bond wording, named recipient, effective date and required duration before applying. The webpage does not establish a cancellation period or universal renewal date.

The city directs right-of-way applications through its online application portal and provides a permit instruction guide. Contact Public Works if you need assistance with submission; do not assume the bond application also submits the city permit.

Keep the bond application and permit approval separate
