Questions about this bond
Is $2,500 always sufficient?
No. The application uses the approved work estimate or $2,500, whichever is greater, and requires DPW's estimate approval before the bond package.
Does the contractor title mean this replaces a state license bond?
No. This request concerns the identified work in Falls Church city ROW. Contractor-license information is a separate part of the application.
Can an existing blanket bond cover the work?
The city application recognizes a blanket bond previously approved by DPW. Confirm that approval and the actual covered work; do not assume blanket coverage from this offering's title.
Is the bond automatically released when the permit expires?
No. The reviewed conditions retain security after final inspection/acceptance and require a later release notification. Confirm the city's documented dates and release instructions.
