Leawood Improvements Performance and Maintenance Bond
What it is & who requires it
Applicants for Leawood right-of-way construction permits, and developers building the public improvements that come with a new subdivision or development. Which of the two city bond forms applies depends on the work: there is a curb-specific form and a general form, so ask which one the permit requires before ordering. For privately funded public improvements in new developments the principal is the developer rather than a trade contractor, which puts that flavor of the instrument outside a contractor license bond even though it shares the name. Certificates of insurance are required alongside at the city’s stated general liability limits.
Obligee: City of Leawood (Public Works). Citation: Leawood City Code ch. 13 art. 3 (right-of-way construction permits); City of Leawood General Performance and Maintenance Bond Form (2-year); City of Leawood Curb-Specific Performance and Maintenance Bond Form.

Term & renewal

Renewal: Per permit or per development.
Filing
Filed on one of the city’s own bond forms — a general two-year performance and maintenance form, or a curb-specific form. No figure is published because the bond is written in the amount of the cost of the public improvement, which is a per-project number rather than a schedule. The clearest confirmation that the amount tracks project value is in the fee rule itself: the city charges the permit fee at a percentage of the total construction cost or the bond amount, which only makes sense where the bond equals the value of the work. Read the code article behind the permit rather than the permit page alone if the principal on a particular job is unclear, because the developer flavor and the contractor flavor of this instrument are administered together.
