What this bond does

- Who needs it
- Contractors preparing Fort Collins right-of-way registration and its required bond documents.

- Use the city's ROW application-packet template for the secured duties and recipient. Registration security should not be assumed to provide payment or completion protection for every private construction contract.

Questions about this bond
Does general ROW security automatically fit directional boring?
Engineering distinguishes the bond amount when directional boring is involved. Confirm your classification rather than assuming the ordinary amount applies.
Does annual continuation mean the option has a one-year term?
No fixed term is displayed. The city requests original continuation documentation each year; arrange the actual bond and continuation with the provider.
Does registration allow me to excavate without a permit?
Treat contractor registration and the required work permit as separate city approvals. Issuance of the bond does not grant either one.
