Prairie Village Right-of-Way Performance and Maintenance Bond
What it is & who requires it
Contractors and facility owners working in the Prairie Village right-of-way. The city writes the same instrument as its neighbors, including the same two-year maintenance tail, so a contractor working several Johnson County cities will meet this obligation repeatedly in near-identical words with only the blanket figure changing. The exemption to check first is the one the ordinance draws itself: no bond and no liability insurance is required of a governmental entity, or of a residential property owner working in the public right-of-way next to their own residence who does not use a contractor. That carve-out is what identifies this as a contractor bond rather than a homeowner one.
Obligee: City of Prairie Village (City Attorney; City Clerk). Citation: Prairie Village Municipal Code § 13-517 (Liability Insurance, Performance and Maintenance Bond Requirement), Ord. No. 2428; § 13-518 (right-of-way permit fees).

Term & renewal
Term: Held for the term of the permit and for two years afterwards.
Renewal: Per permit, or on an automatically renewing annual bond.
Filing
A copy of the liability insurance certificate and the performance and maintenance bond must be on file with the city clerk, in a form approved by the city attorney. No figure is published because the amount is written as the greater of a minimum and the restoration value — on any job where restoration costs more than the minimum, the minimum is not the number. An annual bond satisfies the section for frequent permittees. Liability insurance is required alongside and is cumulative rather than alternative; a self-insured permittee may demonstrate that status instead of filing certificates, but that goes to the insurance limb and not to the bond.
