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.

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.
