Questions about this bond
When does the application call for $10,000 security?
Its checklist specifies $10,000 for multiple bores or cuts, instead of the listed $5,000. Confirm how the City classifies your actual work before issuance.
Does the ROW bond replace the insurance certificate?
No. The selected checklist separately requires insurance naming the City of the Village of Douglas as additional insured.
Is the City ROW permit the only driveway review?
The application also identifies Saugatuck Township Fire District review/approval for City driveways. Coordinate both rather than assuming bond purchase completes either process.
