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.
