What this bond does
Chapter 21A's E&S security provision sets security at 125% of the construction and maintenance cost, using city-approved estimates. It guarantees completion of permit work, maintenance of erosion and sediment control devices, and restoration under applicable requirements.
- Who needs it
- The applicant responsible for the Bowie E&S permit and security request. The code distinguishes the applicant, permittee, owner/developer and responsible site personnel; use the accepted form to determine the legal principal.
- Who it protects
- This security is for the city's E&S undertaking, not a general excavation license. Prince George's Soil Conservation District approves the erosion-control plan, and county grading permissions are separately addressed. Plan approval does not establish a different obligee or eliminate the city's permit.

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.

Questions about this bond
Is the security simply the cost of installing controls?
The E&S provision uses 125% of construction and maintenance costs, with city-approved estimates, and addresses completion, device maintenance and restoration. Use the actual city calculation.
Does District plan approval replace the city permit?
No. The chapter distinguishes District plan approval, the city's E&S permit and applicable county grading permissions. Match the bond to the precise security request.
