What this bond does

The form secures performance of the erosion and sediment control ordinance and permit, including completion in accordance with the plans and specifications. It also addresses correction of incomplete or nonconforming work that creates hazardous conditions, erosion or drainage problems.

Who needs it
The principal applying to the city for the clearing, earthwork or land-disturbing permit identified in the bond.
Who it protects
The city is the recipient of the bond. The form also contains provisions concerning persons injured or property damaged through ordinance violations or breach of its conditions. This should not be described as a substitute for the principal's liability insurance.

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.

Do not mistake cancellation notice for project release

The published form prevents cancellation from taking effect before one year after both principal and surety sign. It also calls for written surety cancellation notice received by the City Clerk at least 30 days before cancellation takes effect. These are not promises that the bond ends automatically after one year.

If the ordinance requires security beyond cancellation, the form calls for a replacement bond in the same amount at least ten days before cancellation takes effect. Liability accruing before effective cancellation is preserved. For the application, obtain the city's current form, exact recipient wording and required sum; after issuance, complete the signatures and attach the attorney-in-fact's power of attorney as directed.

Questions about this bond

Is this only security for leaving the site tidy?

No. The form addresses ordinance and permit performance, completion to the plans and correction of hazardous, erosion or drainage conditions. Read it with the actual permit rather than reducing the obligation to general cleanup.

Can I cancel once the earthwork is finished?

Do not assume so. The form includes a minimum period before cancellation can take effect, city notice and possible replacement security. Completion, cancellation and city release are different matters.

How do I apply through this page?
