What this bond does
Security required for the actual Bloomington push/bore ROW activity and applicant, using the City's accepted instrument.
- Who needs it
- The principal named in Engineering's security request, coordinated with the utility owner, installing contractor and permit applicant.
- Who it protects
- The accepted bond defines the City's protection. Its posted ROW examples address ordinance/permit compliance or City loss from noncompliance, not every obligation in a separate utility-construction contract.

Questions about this bond
Does boring instead of open-cut work remove the permit requirement?
Bloomington's process covers work in City ROW and closures even without digging. Describe the actual bore and associated surface occupation and obtain Engineering's direction.
Can I use either example's cancellation period as my quoted term?
No. The two City-linked examples have different continuation and cancellation provisions. Match the accepted issued form rather than assigning a sample's terms to Propeller's option.
Is the provider application the City's ROW application?
No. The City requires its permit application through Civic Access, with appropriate security, insurance and plans. Issuance, filing and actual permission are separate steps.
