Shawnee Land Disturbance Surety Bond
What it is & who requires it
Anyone conducting regulated land disturbance in Shawnee, and every service provider using or occupying the right-of-way, who must obtain or renew a general land disturbance permit by January 1 each year as a condition of registration. The land disturbance permit is a gate in front of the right-of-way permit rather than a parallel requirement — a right-of-way application is not complete without proof of a current one where applicable, so the two run together. No figure is published because the amount lives in the city’s policy statement and because a bond is only one of three instruments the code accepts.
Obligee: City of Shawnee (Director of Public Works; Governing Body). Citation: Shawnee Municipal Code ch. 11.20 (Land Disturbance Activities) — escrow account, letter of credit or surety bond; amount per City of Shawnee Policy Statement Code (PS-56); § 11.20.060 (general land disturbance permit); Shawnee Design and Construction Manual.

Term & renewal
Term: Established and maintained throughout the permit period.
Renewal: Per permit; service providers using the right-of-way renew a general land disturbance permit annually.
Filing
Established in the city’s name and maintained for the permit period. A surety bond is one of three permitted forms alongside an escrow account and a letter of credit, and the director may direct which one a particular applicant must use based on the project and on the applicant’s past performance — so the choice may not be the contractor’s. The amount is set by the governing body in the Policy Statement Code. Working without a required permit brings additional permit fees on top.
