What this bond does

This offering identifies Boulder's right-of-way contractor security. The city licensing page covers work affecting public property, streets, utility easements, and city or other utility systems; it is more specific than a general building-contractor request.

Who needs it
Developers, contractors, and subcontractors obtaining the City of Boulder right-of-way contractor license for covered work.
Who it protects
The city describes a bond securing licensed work to city standards, safely and within the required time, repair of existing improvements damaged by the work, and maintenance for two years after city acceptance.

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.

Prepare for the licensed right-of-way work

Boulder's licensing page requires a right-of-way contractor license before covered work begins, including work that is not performed for the city. Match the city classification to the public property, utility system, street, or easement affected.

The bond requirement includes damage repair and two years of maintenance after acceptance. That maintenance responsibility is not a displayed two-year term for this offering, which shows no fixed amount or term. Obtain the city's form, sum, and dates.

The bond and insurance are separate licensing documents

Prepare the legal license applicant, city recipient wording, requested form, and relevant work description. The city also requires a current insurance certificate and continued insurance during work and maintenance responsibility.

Purchase Now opens RLI in a new tab. After issuance, check and provide the bond through the city's licensing instructions. The surety application does not itself issue the license or any work permit needed for the project.

Questions about this bond

Does the requirement only concern city-funded projects?

Boulder's licensing page says the covered right-of-way and utility work needs the license whether or not performed for the city. Match the city-defined work scope.

Does the bond only concern construction completion?

The city's requirement also includes repair of damaged improvements and maintenance for two years after acceptance, along with safety and city-standard performance.

Is a two-year bond term offered here?

No fixed term is displayed. The city's two-year post-acceptance maintenance responsibility should not be mistaken for a selected provider term.
