Wichita Sidewalk Cleaning Permit Bond
What it is & who requires it
Contractors operating cleaning equipment on Wichita sidewalks under a sidewalk cleaning permit. The obligation secures payment to the city for damage to streets, pavement, sidewalks, curbs, gutters, trees, signs, meters, traffic devices and other public improvements on or next to the sidewalks being cleaned — so the exposure is to the street furniture rather than to the building. No figure is published here because the ordinance offers a choice of instrument rather than requiring a bond, and a contractor who already carries suitable liability coverage may find the filing satisfied without buying a bond at all. Confirm with the city which route it will accept before purchasing.
Obligee: City of Wichita. Citation: Wichita Municipal Code § 10.28.010 (permit required; bond; insurance); ch. 10.28 — sidewalk cleaning.

Term & renewal
Term: Held with the sidewalk cleaning permit.
Renewal: With the permit.
Filing
Filed with the sidewalk cleaning permit application. The section is headed for bond and insurance together and states one amount that applies to whichever is filed, which is why no penal sum appears on this record — where a code offers insurance as a substitute for a bond in the imposing clause, the bond is one option rather than the requirement. Unmetered water use is regulated separately in the same chapter, and the permit itself carries hours-of-operation restrictions, so read the chapter rather than the bond clause alone before scheduling work.
