Shawnee Right-of-Way Performance and Maintenance Bond
What it is & who requires it
Contractors and right-of-way users working in the Shawnee public way. No figure is published on this record and the reason is structural rather than uncertain: the ordinance deliberately keeps the amount out of the code and in a policy statement the governing body updates, so any number quoted for Shawnee is a snapshot of a schedule rather than a codified sum — ask public works for the current policy statement. The exemption is the familiar one: no bond or liability insurance is required of a governmental entity, or of a residential property owner working in the right-of-way next to their own home who does not use a contractor. Contractors working on city-owned capital improvement projects are not charged the permit fee.
Obligee: City of Shawnee (City Attorney; City Clerk; Director of Public Works).

Term & renewal
Term: The term of the permit plus two years afterwards; letting the bond lapse or be cancelled inside that maintenance period is itself a violation of the chapter.
Renewal: Per permit, against a figure taken from the current policy statement.
Filing
Filed in a form approved by the city attorney, with a copy on file with the city clerk. Two independent reasons no penal sum renders: the amount is delegated to the Policy Statement Code, and where a bond is reasonably determined insufficient for additional facilities the city may require an additional or larger one. Note the cancellation rule, which is stricter than most: a failure to maintain the bond, or a cancellation for non-payment of premium or any other cause before the two-year maintenance period ends, is expressly a violation of the chapter rather than merely a lapse.
