Fort Wright, KY — Right Of Way Bond

Fort Wright's posted street-opening rules allow an approved corporate surety bond instead of cash security, with the amount fixed to repair exposure. For a utility cut on a recently rebuilt street, the obligation can involve segment reconstruction rather than a small patch.

What this bond does

City of Fort Wright, Kentucky security for replacing, backfilling, reconstructing and restoring permitted street/ROW openings.

Who needs it
The City-required permit principal, including a person or utility company and its performing employees, agents or subcontractors.
Who it protects
The accepted security addresses City restoration and repair costs for the covered opening. The permit holder's broader claim-defense duties do not make the bond unlimited insurance or private-contract payment protection.

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.

Match the corporate surety alternative and repair scope

Posted §91.48 requires security before permit issuance and allows the applicant to choose a corporate surety bond approved by the City Treasurer and filed with the City Council. The Building Inspector fixes its amount to cover replacing, backfilling or reconstructing the affected public ways; no universal $5,000 is established here.

Under §91.46, a utility or its contractor cutting a street repaired/replaced under the City's programme within the preceding fifteen years can trigger whole-segment reconstruction, subject to the Code's conditions or a waiver. Ask Public Works which restoration scope, specifications and deadlines apply before estimating a bond from patch dimensions alone.

File the bond and obtain Public Works permission

Section 91.45 directs the City's opening/excavation/boring application to the Public Works Director before work and requires safe work-area control and inspected, approved restoration. The general forms page's PDS building/zoning applications do not replace this City ROW permission.

Purchase Now opens Propeller; the option displays no fixed amount or term. Match the required City form, legal principal/recipient, assigned sum, opening and dates with the issuer. Arrange execution, accepted Treasurer approval/Council filing and the separate issued permit.

Notify the required City officials when reconstruction is complete and arrange Public Works inspection. The posted rules tie performance-guaranty release to accepted compliant restoration and provide deficiency/correction procedures. Obtain the actual continuation/release directions; neither leaving the site nor an issuer anniversary establishes acceptance.
