Springfield, MO — Right Of Way Bond
Springfield's Traffic Engineering excavation instructions require the applying company to have a $10,000 excavation bond on file with the City, alongside a City business license and the required insurance. Identify whether the job is an excavation, another ROW use or a permanent encroachment; the City's distinct permit processes are not interchangeable.

Questions about this bond
Does one excavation permit cover every block?
No. The City requires a new permit for each block. Ask separately about the coverage of the actual bond; the permit rule does not answer that question.
Are the permit's 30- and 60-day provisions bond terms?
No. They concern starting work and permit validity. The accepted bond must establish its own dates and conditions.
Does this bond authorize permanent encroachments or lane closures?
No. Springfield describes separate encroachment and traffic-approval processes. Identify all authorizations required for the actual work.
