Manhattan, KS — Right Of Way Permit Bond

Manhattan's linked facilities-work ordinance calls for $50,000 performance/maintenance security during annual occupant registration, subject to franchise provisions. The current portal also handles curb cuts and dumpsters; do not apply the facilities rule to every activity without City confirmation.

What this bond does

Security to be matched to Manhattan, Kansas's actual occupant-registration/facilities-work request rather than every general ROW portal category.

Who needs it
The City-required occupant/principal, including a facility worker where applicable; identify facility owner, franchise status and performing contractor.
Who it protects
The linked ordinance secures appropriate, timely construction/maintenance of covered ROW facilities. The accepted form defines surety liability and does not prove every private service connection or contract needs this security.

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 facilities scope and franchise obligations first

The linked Ordinance 7462 defines facilities to include utility/service equipment but excludes individual private service connections and irrigation designed only for the parcel served. That exclusion is not proof that other City permits are unnecessary. Identify the actual operation before assuming every small ROW job requires $50,000.

For covered occupants, the ordinance calls for City-acceptable $50,000 performance/maintenance security valid during annual registration and separate insurance. It addresses franchise-specific requirements and treats a valid franchise as registration; that does not automatically waive work permission. Lapsed required bond/insurance can end registration.

Use the current portal and separate work-permit dates

The current City programme page directs companies to annual ROW registration and lists ROW permits, curb cuts and dumpster placement in its new online licensing/permitting portal. Ask the ROW coordinator which category and actual accepted security apply; the former public Temporary Use form URL no longer supplies a current application.

Purchase Now opens Propeller; the option displays no fixed amount or term. Have the City and issuer match the actual instrument, principal/City recipient, amount, facilities or other scope and dates, arrange authorized execution/accepted filing and obtain separate issued permission.

For covered facilities work, the linked ordinance calls for application at least fourteen calendar days before starting and permit periods no longer than sixty days without an approved extension. It normally assigns street/alley pavement-cut repairs to the City unless the Engineer authorizes the permit holder. Arrange the actual restoration/traffic/inspection plan and continuation/release, not an assumed sixty-day bond or universal cancellation date.

Questions about this bond

Does every private service connection automatically need this $50,000 security?

The linked facilities definition excludes individual parcel-only service connections/irrigation. Ask the City what other permission and security apply; do not infer a universal exemption or requirement.

Does a franchise mean no work permit is needed?

The ordinance treats a valid franchise as registration and addresses franchise bond/insurance terms, but separately requires covered facilities-work permits.

Is the sixty-day facilities permit a sixty-day bond?

No. Annual occupant security and the actual work-permit period are distinct. No fixed provider term is displayed; obtain actual accepted dates/continuation.
