What this bond does

Helps applicants match the Auburn offering to the particular city-requested ROW performance undertaking.

Who needs it
Applicants, contractors and authorized representatives arranging Auburn, Washington ROW security.
Who it protects
The city-accepted performance instrument defines the recipient and covered duties. A general ROW application or a public construction-contract bond does not independently establish this offering's terms.

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.

Identify the applicable ROW permit

The reviewed January 2026 packet covers Type B short-term use and Type C long-term use, not every construction or franchise request. For those use cases, financial security is required only if determined by the City Engineer, who sets the amount and acceptable form.

Prepare the location, desired use, dates, applicant/representative authority and responsible contacts. The packet asks for three contacts and applicable traffic/closure plans, a notarized hold-harmless agreement and separate insurance. Ask the city which packet governs physical construction.

Confirm the instrument and delivery requirements

The exact ROW Performance - MAIL bond form and provider match were not retrieved. Confirm the principal, recipient, amount, covered improvements, dates and execution/release conditions before using the offering.

Do not infer a universal 125% amount from an old named utility agreement or use a city contract payment/performance bond instead. Confirm provider fulfillment and city filing separately; MAIL alone does not prove that the provider files an original or that every city submission must be mailed.

Obtain city acceptance and separate work permission

After the city and provider confirm the form, use the existing Propeller Purchase Now option with the actual request. Follow the accepted instrument's execution and delivery directions.

For the reviewed Type B/C packet, required security may follow permit approval but must be received before issuance. Complete the applicable permit, insurance and traffic conditions separately; the use-permit expiration or renewal process is not proof of the bond's release date.

Questions about this bond

Does MAIL mean the provider files with Auburn?

That is not verified. Confirm provider delivery and the city's filing instructions separately before relying on either.

Does Auburn require the same amount for every ROW request?

The reviewed Type B/C packet leaves required security and its amount/form to the City Engineer. An older named franchise agreement does not establish a universal amount.

Can work begin when the provider issues security?

No. Complete the actual city permit and other conditions. For the reviewed Type B/C cases, required security must be provided before permit issuance.
