Urbana, IL — Right Of Way Permit Bond

Urbana requires a current $10,000 surety bond on file with Public Works before it processes a Utility and ROW permit. Its posted bond can cover multiple permits for the same principal, while each work permit is specific to the project location.

What this bond does

Security for the principal's proper performance of Urbana ROW permits, restoration and expense of repairing work-related ROW damage.

Who needs it
The legal principal receiving Urbana ROW permits, coordinated with the individual, contractor or utility responsible for the proposed activity.
Who it protects
The City's form secures satisfactory permitted work, restoration and repair expense for ROW damage caused by that work. It does not guarantee every obligation in a separate private construction contract.

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.

Use one continuing bond without reusing a site permit

The posted form names the City of Urbana and $10,000 and describes a single bond covering permits granted to the same principal for driveways, utility connections, entrances, sidewalks and similar ROW construction. It remains in force indefinitely; the principal or surety may cancel upon 30 days' written notice to the Public Works Director. The form must be notarized.

That bond arrangement does not create a reusable work permit. The City's current permit page says a Utility and ROW permit lasts for the specific project location and cannot be used at multiple locations. Confirm the principal and issued bond match the permits involved rather than treating an individual project's end as automatic bond cancellation.

File security and obtain the actual work approval

Public Works needs both the current bond and the complete additional-insured insurance statement before processing the permit. The current process also requests a site plan and applicable traffic-control plan. It gives a typical one-to-three-business-day review, not a guaranteed start date. Required inspections need at least 24 hours' notice; road closures need 72 hours' advance warning, and concrete work requires inspection before placement.

Purchase Now opens Propeller; the option displays no fixed amount or term. Obtain the accepted City form, legal principal, $10,000 amount and actual effective date, arrange execution/notarization and issuance, and file as instructed. Apply for each needed site permit and wait for actual authorization before work. Confirm the instrument's continuing status and any cancellation/release arrangements separately.

Questions about this bond

Does the City form require a new bond for every location?

It describes a single continuing bond covering permits granted to the same principal. Confirm the issued instrument and current filing, while applying for the actual permits each location requires.

Can one work permit be used at several locations?

No. Urbana's current page says the permit is for the specific project location and cannot be used at multiple locations. Continuing bond coverage does not change that rule.

Does the posted bond expire annually?

The posted form says it remains in force indefinitely and permits cancellation by the principal or surety on 30 days' written notice to the Public Works Director. Do not replace those terms with an invented annual expiration or automatic release at job completion.
