Valley City Right-of-Way Contractor Bond
What it is & who requires it
Contractors permitted to work in the Valley City right-of-way. The bond is a condition of the permit rather than of a separate license — no permit is granted by the public works office until it is on file — and it carries an express duty to restore and maintain, which is what the two-year term is for.
Obligee: City of Valley City (Public Works Office). Citation: Valley City Revised Ordinances § 7.1-03-07 (Contractors—Bond; duty to restore and maintain); tit. 7.1 (Management of the Public Right-of-Way and City Property).

Term & renewal
Term: Two years. The ordinance requires the bond to be in effect for a term of two years, which carries it past completion of the work and through the restoration and maintenance period.
Renewal: Per permit, with the two-year term running from the filing.
Filing
Filed with the Valley City public works office before any right-of-way permit is granted. The reason no figure appears here is on the face of the ordinance: it names an amount and then adds, in the same sentence, that the bond may instead be in the amount set by resolution of the board of city commissioners. Where the obligee reserves the sizing to itself that way, the number printed in the code is one possibility rather than the requirement, so the amount is confirmed when your permit is written. The bond must be with good and sufficient surety and is conditioned, among other things, on the permittee saving the city harmless from damages caused by negligence or faulty work, alongside the restoration and maintenance duty the section’s own title names.
