Questions about this bond
Does one utility franchise establish every Covington ROW amount?
No. Identify the actual general-use or franchised-utility request and obtain its city-required instrument and sum.
Is the 180-day permit duration the bond term?
That is not established. The application sets permit/work duties but does not supply this offering's bond period or release conditions.
Does the bond allow an open cut?
No. The application generally calls for boring/jacking hard-surfaced roads unless the Engineer permits an exception. Obtain the specific work approval separately.
