Questions about this bond
Does this replace a MoDOT or Christian County requirement?
No. Nixa's published ROW definition excludes state highways and Christian County roadways. Match the security to the authority controlling the work.
Are 30 and 60 days the bond term?
No. They are the City's permit start and completion provisions. Obtain the bond dates and any notice conditions from the accepted instrument.
Can I start after purchasing the bond?
Purchase and issuance are separate from City permit approval. Complete the City's application, insurance and security steps and obtain authorization before work.
