What this bond does

This offering identifies Fort Collins right-of-way contractor security for underground boring. The city's Engineering licensing instructions require a larger bond for directional boring than for other right-of-way work.

Who needs it
Contractors preparing Fort Collins right-of-way registration documents for work that includes underground boring.
Who it protects
The city's right-of-way contractor process concerns permitted work in public right-of-way or city-owned easements. Use its bond template to identify the secured obligations rather than substituting a general building-contractor form.

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.

Confirm the directional-boring classification

The city's registration instructions call for a $100,000 bond, or $250,000 if directional boring is involved, using the template in the right-of-way application packet. Tell Engineering and the provider whether your proposed operations include directional boring.

Those city-required sums do not create fixed offered amounts here: the existing option displays no amount or term. Match the city's classification and requested form before completing the provider application.

Registration documents do not replace work permits

Engineering lists the bond and a separate insurance certificate in the registration package. Its instructions say the license stays current while bond and insurance are current and Engineering receives original continuation certificates each year. Check the requested continuation paperwork rather than assuming the bond has a displayed one-year term.

Purchase Now opens Propeller in a new tab. After issuance, verify the contractor name, city form, amount, and dates, then supply the document as Engineering directs. Registration and any required excavation or other work permit are separate from buying the bond.

Questions about this bond

Why does directional boring matter?

The city's registration instructions distinguish a $250,000 bond for directional boring from the $100,000 requirement otherwise stated. Confirm your operations with Engineering before applying.

Can I use a general building-contractor form?

The city directs right-of-way applicants to the template in their own application packet. Use that requested form for this right-of-way obligation.

Does yearly continuation paperwork establish the option's term?

No fixed term is displayed here. Engineering's original-continuation requirement is a licensing-document instruction; confirm the actual bond and continuation arrangement with the provider and city.
