Questions about this bond
Is every DeSoto ROW bond $10,000?
No single figure should be assumed. The application lists fixed construction amounts, while the city-linked ordinance describes cost-based annual restoration and maintenance security. Have Engineering identify the requirement for your activity.
Is the construction bond the same as a two-year maintenance bond?
Do not assume so. DeSoto's materials identify maintenance security separately. Confirm the accepted instrument and applicable dates before purchasing or filing.
Can the contractor be named instead of the facility owner?
Use the principal required by DeSoto for the particular security. The application distinguishes contractor and owner, so their names should not be swapped without confirmation.
Does submitting the bond authorize work?
No. The application explicitly requires permit approval before work, with separate inspection and restoration responsibilities.
