University City, MO — Right Of Way Permit Bond
University City's linked ROW rules distinguish occupation/blockage, excavation or boring, and sidewalk/driveway/curb improvements. They assign different deposits and bond amounts, with excavation security based on the City's restoration estimate. Have Public Works classify the actual work before choosing an amount; the same packet also needs clarification on its different restoration and repair periods.

What this bond does
Match University City ROW security to the City's activity classification, restoration estimate and accepted bond instrument.
- Who needs it
- The registered City ROW applicant/permit holder responsible for the work, including work assigned to subcontractors.
- Who it protects
- The City's financial security supports restoration to its specifications. Deposits, permit fees, liability insurance and the bond are separate requirements; an annual bond does not itself authorize a project.

Questions about this bond
Is $3,000 the excavation amount?
Not under the linked rules. That minimum belongs to the described occupation/blockage category. Excavation and boring security is based on the City's restoration estimate.
Does an annual $10,000 bond automatically remove every other requirement?
No. The rules allow the City to waive an individual permit-bond requirement for an unexpired annual bond on file. Confirm applicability and any separate deposit, registration and permit requirements.
Is the restoration obligation one year or four years?
The linked packet contains both a four-year restoration guarantee and a separate one-year repair warranty. Obtain the City's applicable bond wording and dates; neither period is a verified fixed term for this purchase option.
