What this bond does

The city's Bond for Right-of-Way Work supports covered construction of improvements within Clayton's right-of-way and easements. The published form describes an annual work authority and obligations that continue through specified guarantee periods.

Who needs it
A contractor arranging Clayton, Ohio permission for covered public-frontage improvements, including driveway, curb or sidewalk work for a private property owner.
Who it protects
The form protects the City of Clayton and qualifying private property owners, and addresses legal claims of materialmen and subcontractors. Its conditions include city-standard work, defects, injury or property-damage indemnity, and labor, material and equipment claims.

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.

Identify the right-of-way work instrument

Clayton's permit page links the $25,000 Annual Excavation and Restoration Bond for driveway, curb and sidewalk work. It says an owner performing all the work may have the bond requirement waived, but still needs a permit and inspection. Confirm that exception directly before relying on it.

The form covers improvements in right-of-way and easements, with the City of Clayton named in the obligation. Provide the contractor's legal name and the work location, and ask the Service Department whether this annual form matches the requested security.

Keep utility construction security separate

Clayton's utility-provider application distinguishes construction from minor maintenance and asks whether work is in paved or unpaved right-of-way. For construction, it calls for a city-determined bond based on the project and other allowed factors, with approved alternatives and self-bonding provisions.

That application also lists a removal bond if applicable. Do not assume the $25,000 annual work instrument satisfies every utility construction or removal requirement. A utility contractor must also address authority to act for the registered provider.

Check dates, issuance and city acceptance

The annual form describes a year ending on the bond anniversary and requires a new bond to continue the stated work authority after a year. It separately provides a guarantee of at least one year from acceptance and a one-year public-right-of-way defect warranty after initial city approval. Those project milestones are not simply the purchase anniversary.

The city must receive 30 days' written notice of cancellation or termination under the form. Use Purchase Now for Propeller's Clayton offering, confirm the requested instrument and dates, then review and provide the issued bond to the city. Work permission, inspections and any later release remain separate from buying the bond.

Questions about this bond

What amount appears on Clayton's annual work bond?

The published Annual Excavation and Restoration Bond states $25,000. Have the Service Department confirm that it is the form requested for your work.

Does an owner doing all the work still need a permit?

Yes. Clayton's permit page allows a bond waiver when the property owner performs all the work, but retains the permit and inspection requirements.

Is the annual form enough for every utility project?

Not necessarily. The utility application provides for a city-determined construction bond and a removal bond when applicable. Confirm the required instruments instead of assuming they are interchangeable.

Do the warranty and annual work authority use the same date?

The form distinguishes the bond anniversary from acceptance and initial city approval milestones. Keep those records and obtain the city's instructions for continuing work or closing the obligation.
