Oskaloosa Building Mover and Demolisher Bond
What it is & who requires it
Contractors moving or demolishing a premises in Oskaloosa. The security here is unusual in that the city will take several different instruments, which is why no figure renders — a bond, an irrevocable letter of credit, a cash bond, or any other form of surety the city clerk finds acceptable. What it secures is damage to the city or public property including sidewalk, street and curb, and the cost of cleaning debris occasioned by the moving, demolition or salvage. One restriction to note before you plan around it: the security may not be assigned without the city clerk’s consent. If the permittee does not repair damage or remove debris within the time the city engineer sets, the city may do the work and deduct its actual costs including a reasonable share of supervision, returning the balance to whoever deposited the security.

Term & renewal
Term: Filed at the time of application for the moving or demolition permit and held until the city releases the balance.
Renewal: Per permit.
Filing
Filed with the city clerk at the time of application. No figure renders because the section places non-surety instruments beside the bond at the same level, which is this directory’s standing rule. The provision descends from the same model section that West Des Moines, Clive and several other Iowa cities carry, and the three cities have drifted apart in a way that matters: some name a surety company and a fixed sum, some say minimum sum, and this one opens the list to letters of credit and cash. Insurance is a separate requirement in the following section.
