Clio, MI Right of Way Bond
Overview
Get bonded and cleared to work in Clio's public right of way before your crew ever breaks ground. Clio, MI requires this bond as a condition of granting access to city streets, sidewalks, and utility corridors for construction or excavation work. It guarantees that any damage to public infrastructure caused by your project will be repaired or compensated. Without it, the City of Clio will not issue the permit that lets work begin.
Who Needs This Bond?
Contractors, excavators, utility installers, and road workers who need to open, disturb, or occupy a city-owned right of way in Clio, Michigan must carry this bond. If your project touches a public street, curb cut, sidewalk, or underground corridor within city limits, Clio requires this guarantee before work is authorized. Developers coordinating utility connections or driveway approaches on city property are also common applicants. Any company or individual pulling a right-of-way permit from the City of Clio falls into this requirement.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects the City of Clio and its residents if a permitted contractor damages public infrastructure and fails to restore it properly. It covers the city's cost to repair roads, curbs, sidewalks, or other right-of-way assets that are left in worse condition than found. The bond does not replace general liability insurance — it specifically answers to the city for incomplete or defective restoration of public property. If the contractor walks away from a pothole, broken curb, or collapsed trench, the bond funds the fix.
When is it Required?
Pulling a right-of-way permit from the City of Clio is the specific moment this bond becomes mandatory. You must have the bond in place and on file before the permit is issued — not after work starts. Any contractor who needs to cut pavement, excavate near the street, install a driveway approach, or run utilities under a city road will hit this requirement at the permit counter. The bond must remain active for the full duration of the permitted work.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is a local City of Clio requirement and is not a statewide Michigan bond. It applies exclusively to work performed within Clio city limits on property owned or controlled by the city. Work on county roads, state highways, or private property is outside the scope of this bond.
