What this bond does

Provide the right-of-way work security requested for a Blue Ash downtown job, alongside the City's application, inspection and restoration requirements.

Who needs it
Contractors undertaking a downtown Blue Ash right-of-way job for which Public Works requests the downtown-category bond.
Who it protects
The security supports the City's right-of-way work obligation. The applicant remains responsible for the permitted operations and restoration, and must obtain the actual work authorization separately.

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.

Ask the City to confirm the downtown work limits

Blue Ash publishes a $5,000 downtown bond category. Designated main arterials also carry a listed $5,000 sum, while other City streets are listed at $3,000. The shared amount does not establish that an arterial job belongs in the downtown entry.

Give Public Works the exact address and work limits rather than deciding the downtown boundary from a neighborhood description. A contractor planning several jobs can also ask about the distinct $10,000 renewable blanket arrangement. Utility-company bonding is handled case by case.

Plan the permit and restoration before applying

Each job or area needs its own signed right-of-way work application and plan or sketch. The City requires its work permit even when no digging is involved. Confirm any separate occupancy authorization for a facility; this bond does not issue it.

For an excavation, the permit requires inspection notice at least 24 hours before backfill. It requires prompt restoration by the permit termination date and a one-year warranty from completion for repair materials and workmanship, subject to City inspection and approval.

Match the requested dates and file the issued bond

The City's bond guidance describes one year from estimated completion or an umbrella ending on the last day of the following year. Confirm which period and wording the City accepts for this job; do not substitute the permit's actual-completion warranty date without checking.

Continue to Propeller with the confirmed downtown request. Review the principal, sum, dates and instrument before filing it through the City's process. Obtain the permit approval before relying on the bond for any work in the right-of-way.

Questions about this bond

How do I know whether my job is in the downtown category?

Ask Blue Ash Public Works to classify the address and work limits. The published requirements list downtown separately but do not establish a boundary for your particular job.

Can I select downtown just because my requested sum is $5,000?

Not on that basis alone. The City also lists $5,000 for designated main arterials. Match the category and instrument to the City's written request.

Does this cover every downtown job I perform?

Do not assume repeated-work coverage. The City offers a distinct blanket arrangement for several jobs, and each job or area still requires an individual work permit.

Does the bond replace the City's inspection?

No. For excavation, arrange inspection at least 24 hours before backfill and follow the permit's restoration and approval requirements.
