Your bond option

This is the option on record for this bond.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Understanding the Bond Obligation

This bond is specifically structured to cover multiple occurrences of work under a single coverage term. It ensures that the project remains free from defects and is maintained in a condition satisfactory to the City of Aspen’s governing body for two full years after the final inspection. The bond is non-cancelable for this two-year duration, providing continuous protection to the city.

The penal sum of the bond is defined as the greater of $2,500 or the total value of the work performed. By securing this bond, the contractor accepts liability for potential damages to life or property resulting from their operations, including those caused by agents or employees, and agrees to indemnify the city against such losses.

Permit Requirements and Compliance

To satisfy the requirements for a Right-Of-Way permit in Aspen, applicants must demonstrate their ability to complete work in accordance with the detailed plans and specifications established by the City of Aspen Engineering Department. This includes providing proof of the required surety bond that covers the specific project type, such as the Multiple Occurrence Work category.

Contractors are responsible for ensuring that all equipment, labor, and materials used in the permitted work are of sufficient character and quality to meet local municipal standards. Failure to meet these obligations or to rectify defects identified during the two-year maintenance period may result in claims against the bond to recover the costs associated with necessary repairs or remediation.

Bond Issuance and Execution

The bond must be executed by a surety corporation qualified to transact business in the State of Colorado. The principal and the surety must be clearly identified, and the document must be signed by the contractor and the surety's attorney-in-fact to be considered valid for permit submission.

Once the bond is secured and the work is completed, the two-year maintenance window officially begins upon the issuance of the final Inspection Log by the city. Contractors should coordinate with the Engineering Department to ensure all documentation is properly filed before commencing work in the public right-of-way.
