Questions about this bond
Is this automatically a bond for every Chicago bridge contract?
No. Identify the actual permit obligation and instrument; a City construction contract's bonds are not established by this offering's name.
Does public-way use permission authorize pavement opening?
Code 10-28-010 preserves the separate public-way work-license requirement where applicable. Confirm all required work approvals.
What amount or cancellation period applies?
Neither is supplied by this provider option or established by the cited public-way provision. Obtain the actual City form and instructions before issuance.
