Green Bay, WI — Right Of Way Permit Bond
Green Bay requires the contractor actually doing ROW excavation to be bonded and insured, with documents on file through Risk Management before the permit request. Its non-excavating obstruction process is different and does not carry the same bond requirement.

What this bond does
Helps the performing contractor separate Green Bay excavation security, Risk Management filing and Public Works permit approval.
- Who needs it
- Contractors performing excavation in City of Green Bay ROW and applicants resolving the actual security request.
- Who it protects
- The accepted city instrument defines the bond undertaking. The permit terms separately make the applicant responsible for excavation damage, temporary maintenance and permanent repair costs.

Questions about this bond
Does non-digging obstruction require this excavation security?
The current comparison says bond/insurance is not required for the separate obstruction permit. Confirm the actual activity; adding excavation changes the process.
Can the owner apply instead of the excavating contractor?
The city says only the bonded/insured contractor actually performing the excavation may apply for that permit.
Are a bond amount and annual term verified?
No. Obtain the exact current request from Risk Management. Do not infer security terms from permit dates or processing estimates.
