What this bond does

City of Jackson, Michigan security for performance of the identified street-opening permit and the form's specified defect-repair obligations.

Who needs it
The permittee and actual contractor responsible for the City street opening, with Engineering's prequalification or bond determination confirmed.
Who it protects
This form addresses the permitted street work and related City obligations. It is not automatically a payment bond for suppliers or a guarantee of the entire private construction contract.

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 opening and the City's qualification route

Engineering requires right-of-way permits for a broad range of work, including approaches, monitoring wells/dumpsters, sewers, sidewalks and sprinklers. Its bond paragraph specifically addresses pavement cuts, curb work and street digging, and says the contractor must be prequalified or provide a Performance and Guarantee Bond. Have Engineering determine the route for your actual work rather than assuming every ROW use has the same security requirement.

The selected form names the City of Jackson, identifies the permittee as principal and leaves the sum and permit date/reference to be completed. Supply the actual City request and permit information; do not borrow a contract-price percentage from an unrelated City procurement bond.

Arrange the required execution and completion-based coverage

The form calls for a two-year Performance and Guarantee Bond and describes keeping the permitted work in repair for two years from work completion. It addresses defects and the City's repair directions, with stated conditions and exceptions. Match that language with the issuer; it is not a two-year term starting automatically at checkout.

Purchase Now opens Propeller. The option displays no fixed amount or term. Confirm the form, permittee/City recipient, assigned sum, coverage and dates, then arrange authorized execution, the form's witness requirements and attached power of attorney. Follow Engineering's accepted filing and Oxcart permit process.

For ROW water-service work, Engineering directs applicants to the Water Department; industrial users also need the stated wastewater authorization. Obtain the actual permissions, inspections and completion/acceptance records. Bond issuance does not authorize digging or establish a final release date.

Questions about this bond

Is every Jackson right-of-way permit the same bond request?

The City's permit list is broader than its opening-bond paragraph. Have Engineering determine prequalification and security for the actual pavement cut, curb work, excavation or other activity.

Does the repair period start when I buy?

The selected form describes two years from completion of the permitted work. The option itself displays no fixed term; confirm the form and actual coverage dates with the issuer and City.

Does this bond guarantee payment to my suppliers?

Do not treat it as an unrelated contract payment bond. It is the City's named street-opening performance and guarantee form with its own permit and repair conditions.
