West Valley City Right-of-Way Permit Bond
What it is & who requires it
Contractors and utilities applying for a right-of-way permit in West Valley City. The city requires evidence of a completion bond with the permit application, guaranteeing that the right-of-way is properly restored to its prior condition, and the bond must be guaranteed by a corporation licensed in Utah as a surety company. Water districts, sewage districts and other entities exempted by law from bonding provisions are excused where they perform the work themselves — but their contractors are not exempted from any bonding or insurance requirement.
Obligee: West Valley City (Public Works). Citation: West Valley City Municipal Code § 19-2 (Right-of-Way Permits — completion bond).

Renewal: Per permit, with the one-year latent-defect coverage running from acceptance of the work.
Filing
Submitted to West Valley City with your right-of-way permit application, guaranteed by a corporation licensed in Utah as a surety company. The ordinance does not set a penal sum: it requires the bond to be in an amount sufficient to guarantee proper restoration of the right-of-way to its prior condition, and states a figure only as a floor beneath that. Because the operative amount is the cost of restoring your particular scope, the bond is listed here and the exact figure is confirmed when you apply. It stays valid for one year after the work is accepted so that latent defects are covered. A hold-harmless undertaking and the insurance the chapter requires are filed alongside it. Authority: West Valley City Municipal Code § 19-2.
