Questions about this bond
Are opening and driveway approvals identical?
They use separate current linked forms and approval steps. Have Highway identify the actual request and related permissions.
Which winter dates control?
The published forms describe different windows. Obtain Highway's instructions for your actual work; do not treat either as the option's term.
Does occupancy mean automatic full bond release?
The driveway form records release or retention and allows withholding until related ROW damage is restored. Obtain actual acceptance/release.
