What this bond does

The form addresses excavations, trenches and the listed cutting, removal or alteration of curbs, gutters, sidewalks, pavement and street/alley structures in public places. Performance must comply with Article 2 of Chapter 13 of the Fresno Municipal Code under each permit issued to the principal.

Who needs it
The principal obtaining the city's streetwork/excavation permits. The obligee is the City of Fresno; the bond does not substitute for the separate permits or a California contractor credential.
Who it protects
After the stated notice and noncompliance, the form addresses city-directed corrective work and specified service deficits, subject to its wording. This is public-place work security, not a general liability policy or a guarantee of unrelated private-site grading.

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.

Match the continuing bond to the city permits

The published form says the bond period must be at least one year and may continue until cancelled. Cancellation requires 30 days' written notice to the director. Do not confuse that notice with a 30-day bond term or assume an annual automatic release.

Keep the bond number and the city's continuation/cancellation routing with the issued document. Principal and attorney-in-fact execution follow the provider's issuance and current city instructions. Having the bond does not grant the next streetwork permit.

Questions about this bond

Does this secure only one trench?

The form anticipates permits obtained from time to time and compliance under each permit issued to the principal. Confirm the city's current request rather than assuming single-project coverage.

Is the 30-day notice the bond's term?

No. The form states a minimum one-year period and a separate 30-day written cancellation notice. It may remain effective until cancelled.

How do I start the application?

Purchase Now opens Propeller in a new tab. Check the applicant, City of Fresno wording, accepted form, sum and dates. Application and issuance come before execution and filing; neither automatically authorizes streetwork.
