Mission Right-of-Way Performance Bond
What it is & who requires it
Anyone cutting, excavating or grading in the Mission right-of-way. Mission takes a different route from its Johnson County neighbors and it changes where you look for the number: rather than writing an amount into the ordinance, the code points at the APWA specifications, so the figure and the form both come from that engineering standard and from the city’s permit paperwork. Pre-placement inspections are required for pavement, pavement restoration, curb and gutter, drive approaches and sidewalks, and no work may begin until the permit is approved, utility locates are obtained and public works has had two days’ notice. Governmental utilities are exempt, as is any residential property that does not use a contractor to perform the excavation.
Obligee: City of Mission (Public Works Director). Citation: Mission Code of Ordinances § 520.220 (Performance Bonds and Liability Insurance Certificates), ch. 520 art. II — Excavation Activities in Public Rights-Of-Way and Private Utility Easements; § 520.180 (permit requirement); § 520.210 (permit fees); § 520.230 (right-of-way repair and restoration); Ord. No. 1002 § 10 (8-9-2000).

Term & renewal
Term: Held against the permitted work and the restoration the chapter requires within the dates specified in the permit.
Renewal: Per permit.
Filing
Provided with the right-of-way permit application. No figure is published on this record because the ordinance contains none — it delegates both the bond and the liability insurance certificate to the APWA specifications, which is an external standard the city adopts rather than a schedule it publishes in the code. Ask public works for the current specification and the permit packet rather than working from a number quoted elsewhere. Note that this ordinance predates the floored right-of-way instrument used across most of the rest of Johnson County by several years, so the shape of the requirement here is genuinely different from a neighboring city’s and not merely differently worded.
