What this bond does

This offering identifies El Paso County, Colorado right-of-way permit security. The county's 2025 guidance emphasizes resources for restoration and repair of affected public right-of-way; this is not an El Paso, Texas city request.

Who needs it
Certified contractors asked to file general permit security for work in El Paso County right-of-way or easements under its Engineering Criteria Manual.
Who it protects
The published ECM bond excerpt names the county Board of County Commissioners, through the ECM Administrator, and secures county expenses to complete work begun but not finished in accordance with its standards.

Your bond option

This is the option on record for this bond.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Match the certified contractor and county work

The county's published ECM excerpt calls for a general permit bond of at least $20,000 on file before a certified contractor performs covered county right-of-way or easement work. Confirm the current county request, legal contractor, recipient wording, and accepted form.

Its requirement is to keep the bond in place for at least two years after work completion, not simply two years from the purchase date. The option displays no fixed amount or term; have the provider confirm the requested arrangement.

Keep property rights and work permission separate

The county's 2025 FAQ says a ROW permit does not establish that a property is public right-of-way or supply rights to use private property. Identify the actual location, proposed activity, and permit category before relying on the bond request.

Purchase Now opens Propeller in a new tab. Check the issued bond and deliver it as the county directs. Separate liability insurance and permit approval remain part of the county process; the surety application does not authorize excavation or grant property rights.

Questions about this bond

Is two years from issuance automatically enough?

The published ECM excerpt says security remains for at least two years after completion. Confirm the actual arrangement with the county and provider; no fixed term is displayed here.

Does the permit prove I have rights to enter the property?

The county's 2025 FAQ expressly separates the permit from property rights. Confirm the location and any private-property permissions independently.

Who is the protected recipient?

The ECM excerpt identifies El Paso County's Board of County Commissioners through the ECM Administrator. Use the exact current county wording rather than a similarly named city or another state's authority.
