What this bond does

Secure compliance and covered city expenses for work in or upon Germantown streets, alleys, public places or ways.

Who needs it
Contractors applying for Germantown right-of-way work, including the activity identified in their permit.
Who it protects
The city form covers compliance with its instructions/specifications, remedying specified defects, indemnifying the city and repaying city default-remedy expenses. It is not a guarantee of every private project payment.

Choose from 2 options

Each option is a separate record. Where a term, bond amount, premium, or E&O limit is known, it is listed; match it to what your requirement asks for.

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 two names to the city form

Option 1 is RLI’s Work In or Upon City Streets, Alleys, Public Places offering. Option 2 is Propeller’s Right of Way Permit offering. Neither option supplies a fixed amount or term in this catalog.

Bring the actual city form and $15,000 request for provider comparison. The two choices do not instruct you to buy two bonds or prove that the issued conditions are interchangeable.

Plan annual continuation and defect obligations

The city guidelines require a yearly Continuation Certificate and 30-day cancellation notice. The form separately addresses defects appearing within one year after work completion and remedy within ten days of the City Engineer’s written notice.

Confirm the actual effective/renewal dates and continuing work before changing security. Annual continuation is not permission to perform unpermitted work; the form expressly requires a permit and specific city instructions.

Return the original before permit issuance

Have the provider check principal, city recipient, wording, sum and dates. The city calls for an original signed/notarized bond and original power of attorney with the specified embossed or colored stamp.

Submit those originals as directed before permit issuance. The city also requires its Business Tax License and provides separate ordinary ROW and fiber/utility application routes. Online application or electronic permit issuance does not remove the original-bond requirement.
