Midwest City Street Excavation Bond
What it is & who requires it
Contractors excavating in Midwest City streets or laying conduit under them. The gate is at the city engineer’s desk: the ordinance directs that the permit not be issued until the bond has been filed, so a lapse stops the permit rather than producing a notice. Midwest City also licenses house movers separately under its buildings chapter, so a contractor doing both files both.
Obligee: City of Midwest City (City Engineer). Citation: Midwest City Code of Ordinances § 37-88 (Bonds required) — permit not issued by the city engineer until the bond is filed; ch. 37 (Streets and Sidewalks), excavation and conduit permits.
Bond amount
The required bond amount is $10,000.

Term & renewal
Term: Filed with the city before the excavation permit issues.
Renewal: Per permit or held with the license.
Filing
Filed with the city, executed by a surety company authorized to transact business in the state — the ordinance names the instrument, which is what carries the figure, and offers no cash or deposit alternative. Note that the same code carries surety bonds in lieu of cash utility deposits elsewhere; those are billing guarantees for utility accounts and are a different instrument entirely from this permit bond.
