Single Job Right of Way Bond - Village of Greenhills, OH in Ohio

Brief Summary

A single job right of way bond covers one project in the Village of Greenhills street or sidewalk area, and then it is done. Instead of carrying an annual bond for work you do once, you bond the one excavation, curb cut or driveway apron, finish the restoration, and the village has what it needs to issue the permit.

The Village of Greenhills requires a permit before anyone excavates in or works on its streets, sidewalks, curbs or driveway aprons. The Single Job Right of Way bond is the security a contractor posts with the village for one permitted job, guaranteeing that the work and the pavement restoration meet village standards. Confirm the required amount, current form and filing steps with the village office before the bond is issued.

Detailed Information About the Ohio Single Job Right of Way Bond:

One job, one bond

The word that matters in the name is single. This bond is written for one permitted project in the public right of way, not for every job you do in Greenhills over a year. If you are opening the street for a sewer lateral, replacing a driveway apron or cutting a curb, the bond follows that one permit. A second job at a different address means a second permit and a separate look at bonding.

Where the requirement comes from

The Greenhills Codified Ordinances, published by American Legal Publishing, address this work in two places. Chapter 907, Excavations, contains Section 907.01 Excavation permit required, Section 907.02 Application and security, and Section 907.03 Restoration of pavement. Chapter 913, Sidewalks, Curbs and Driveways, sets materials, curb cut spacing and driveway apron standards and requires a permit in Section 913.07. The village also posts a Sidewalk Permit Application on its Building and Zoning page.

What the bond guarantees

The Village of Greenhills is the obligee. The bond guarantees that the contractor will do the permitted work to the village's standards and restore the pavement, sidewalk or curb afterward. If the contractor walks away or leaves a failed patch, the village can make a claim on the bond to pay for the repair. The contractor must repay the surety for any claim it pays.

How the amount and premium are set

The village sets the bond amount for the job, so confirm the figure with the village office when you apply for the permit. The surety then prices the premium on that amount, the owner's credit and the contractor's experience with right of way work. Plumbing permits that go with a sewer connection are handled separately by the Hamilton County Plumbing Division.
