Davison, MI Right of Way Bond
Overview
Contractors working in Davison, Michigan need this bond before they can open up a public right of way for any construction, utility, or excavation project. Davison requires it to protect city infrastructure and residents from damage caused by work in streets, sidewalks, and other public corridors. If something goes wrong — an unmarked trench, a damaged curb, an unrestored road surface — the bond gives the city a financial remedy. This is a local city requirement, not a statewide license bond.
Who Needs This Bond?
You've been told by the City of Davison that you need a Right of Way Bond before your permit will be approved. That typically means you're a contractor, utility company, or excavating business planning to break ground in, under, or across a public street, sidewalk, alley, or easement within Davison city limits. General contractors pulling permits for utility connections, fiber installs, driveway approach work, or road cuts all fall into this category. If Davison's public works or engineering department is holding your permit, this bond is what releases it.
What is this Bond For?
This bond guarantees that you — the contractor — will complete your right of way work according to Davison's standards and restore the public property to its original condition when the job is done. The City of Davison is the obligee, meaning they are the protected party and can file a claim if you leave a road, curb, or sidewalk in worse shape than you found it. It is not insurance for your crew or your equipment — it is a financial guarantee to the city that public infrastructure will be protected. The bond holds you accountable for the condition of every square foot of public right of way you disturb.
When is it Required?
Before your right of way permit is issued in Davison, this bond must already be in place. The city will not authorize excavation or street work until they have proof of your bond. That means you cannot schedule crews, mobilize equipment, or break ground until this requirement is satisfied. Plan to secure the bond before you submit your permit application or immediately upon receiving the city's requirement notice — delays in bonding directly delay your project start date.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies exclusively within the city limits of Davison, Michigan. It covers work in any public right of way under Davison's jurisdiction — streets, curbs, sidewalks, alleys, and public easements. It does not satisfy bonding requirements for work in neighboring townships, Genesee County roads, or any Michigan state highway.
