Roeland Park Street Cut and Excavation Bond
What it is & who requires it
Anyone cutting, excavating or tunnelling in a Roeland Park street, and utilities whose contractors do that work on their behalf. The structure here is the reverse of most permit bonds and that is the thing to understand before shopping: the default the code sets is a CASH DEPOSIT, and the performance bond is an option the person doing the work may elect instead, with the public works director’s approval. A utility doing repeated cuts can go further and file one blanket bond for the calendar year rather than bonding each cut. Note the escalation rule — if the individual deposits or bonds would together exceed the blanket amount, the utility must increase the blanket bond or revert to per-cut filings.
Obligee: City of Roeland Park (Public Works Director). Citation: Roeland Park Municipal Code § 13-205 (Option of Performance Bond in Lieu of Deposit); § 13-203 (deposit); § 13-206 (use of fees, deposits and bonds); Ord. No. 570; Ord. No. 1079.

Term & renewal
Term: Guarantees the cost of repairing the affected areas for at least one year after the work is completed.
Renewal: Per cut, or on a blanket bond covering a utility’s cuts for the calendar year.
Filing
Submitted to the public works director, whose approval is required for the substitution and who approves the form and substance of the bond. No figure appears on this record because there are three separate reasons one cannot be stated: the bond is an elective substitute for a cash deposit rather than the primary requirement, its amount is defined by reference to the deposit that would otherwise be due subject only to a stated minimum, and the blanket version is expressly the greater of a minimum and the total value of the work. What the bond guarantees is the cost of repairing the affected areas for at least a year after completion, and the proceeds are applied under § 13-206 to refilling and repaving where the applicant or contractor fails to perform.
