What this bond does

City of Fort Dodge, Iowa contractor ROW performance/restoration security for the actual City opening request.

Who needs it
The registered applicant/principal responsible for work, including its subcontractor, with the hiring owner or communications company identified.
Who it protects
The accepted City form controls surety liability for covered ROW performance/restoration. Applicant work warranties are not quoted provider terms or unrestricted insurance for private contracts.

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.

Use the supplied form and correct registered applicant

The published ROW registration sheet requires $10,000 Performance and Restoration security on the provided form plus separate liability documentation. The live excavation application requires registration complete before permit approval and current documentation throughout the work.

That application distinguishes the registered applicant from an owner of a permanent obstruction and asks who hired the contractor. If a subcontractor performs the work, the registered applicant remains responsible. Homeowners may replace public ROW sidewalk only, excluding street ADA ramps; approaches, ramps and work closer to the street require a registered contractor.

Prepare plans, then obtain permission and give start notice

The live form asks for location, work type/description, length, dates, subcontractor and traffic-control contractor/plans. Water and sanitary sewer work can need additional permits; permanent obstruction and excavation are not interchangeable applications. The form asks applicants to allow three days for processing and give 24-hour notice before starting.

Purchase Now opens Propeller; the option displays no fixed amount or term. Match the City's provided performance/restoration form, principal/recipient, sum and dates with the issuer, arrange execution/accepted filing and separate insurance, then obtain actual excavation approval.

The live application distinguishes work warranty after completion/inspection: at least four years for storm/sanitary sewer, water main and streets, and two years for PCC patch work. Obtain the City's applicable classification, inspections and continuation/release conditions; those promises do not establish a fixed four- or two-year provider term.

Questions about this bond

Can a subcontractor replace the registered applicant on the permit?

The live application says the registered applicant remains responsible for subcontracted work. Match the actual principal and permit roles with Engineering.

Can a homeowner perform all ROW concrete work?

The current form limits that role to public sidewalk replacement excluding street ADA ramps. Approaches, ramps and work nearer the street require a registered contractor.

Are the two-/four-year warranties the offered bond duration?

No fixed provider term is displayed. Those are work warranties after completion/inspection; obtain the accepted issued instrument and continuation/release conditions.
