What this bond does

Security for the corporation's permitted use or obstruction of Evanston public space under the City's accepted form.

Who needs it
A corporation named as principal in the City's street-obstruction permit and bond request.
Who it protects
The form protects the City and its officials through clearance/restoration and specified indemnity duties. It is broader than a promise to remove debris, but not a blanket guarantee of every construction contract.

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.

Prepare the corporate acknowledgment and permit details

The City's corporate form records the principal, surety, penal sum, occupied dimensions, address, work and permit period. Its notarized corporate acknowledgment identifies the president and secretary and their authority from the board of directors. Confirm the corporation's legal name and authorized execution rather than using an individual's form or a delivery vendor's identity.

Permit expiry does not erase all secured duties

The form calls for use to stop at permit expiry or revocation, removal of materials/debris, restoration without City expense, and indemnity for specified injury/property-damage claims for the applicable Illinois limitations period. It does not state a universal fixed-year cancellation date. The ROW page lists bonds for private development/larger projects if applicable. Confirm the City's assigned sum and required form, then apply through Purchase Now. The option displays no fixed amount or term; issuance and accepted filing do not themselves authorize occupancy.

Questions about this bond

Why does the corporation form matter?

Its acknowledgment addresses corporate officers and board authorization. The City separately lists an individual form; confirm the form appropriate to the legal principal.

Does every ROW application automatically need this bond?

The City's ROW page lists bonding for private development and larger projects if applicable. Obtain the actual request.

Does the obstruction's end establish automatic cancellation?

No. The form includes restoration and continuing indemnity language. Confirm the actual release instructions rather than using a presumed annual term.
