Denver, CO — Structural Contractor Bond
Denver's Structural Contractor category is a right-of-way license for structures on public ways or other public property of the City. Its selected bond form is $25,000, payable to the City and County of Denver. Do not confuse that scope with every structural repair on a private lot.

What this bond does
The bond supports the structural right-of-way license. It secures the ordinance and public-works obligations written into the City form, including City indemnification and reimbursement for specified maintenance, repair or replacement defaults.
- Who needs it
- The legal contractor applying for Denver's Structural Contractor right-of-way license. Identify that category and the contracting entity, rather than substituting an individual structural engineer's professional credential or the broader ROW General category.
- Who it protects
- The named obligee is the City and County of Denver. The form requires satisfaction of claims and demands incurred in the licensed structural work, City indemnification and reimbursement of City costs arising from the contractor's specified defaults.

Questions about this bond
Is this for every private structural building project?
The City's listed category concerns structures in the public right-of-way or on other City public property. Confirm the licensing category for the location and work rather than selecting this bond solely because a private project has structural elements.
Can I use the ROW General or another trade's bond?
Denver separately lists ROW General, paving, excavation and other categories with their own forms. Match the Structural Contractor request and City-selected undertaking; a broader-sounding name is not proof that a different filing is interchangeable.
