What this bond does

Security associated with residential driveway work in Jacksonville-controlled ROW, rather than the City's separate example for other ROW activities.

Who needs it
The contractor performing the driveway work, including an owner acting as the contractor where the City permits that arrangement.
Who it protects
The City's example secures compliance with the permitted work and repair, replacement, or restoration of affected pavement. Its stated indemnity provisions also address defined losses; it is not the contractor'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.

Use the residential request, not the other-work example

The City's current instructions distinguish the residential-driveway $10,000 example from the $50,000 example for other ROW work. Neither amount is a new provider variant on this page: the single Propeller option displays no fixed amount or term. Obtain the City's required instrument and confirm its match with the provider. Work in FDOT ROW, private roads, or non-City easements requires the appropriate authority's process.

File the original before the permit application

Jacksonville says the actual contractor must have current ROW surety on file before applying, subject to its stated exceptions. Original sealed bonds with a raised seal go to the Review Group in person or by mail; standard ROW permit applications use JAXEPICS. The residential example has a one-year bond period. That differs from the City's usual six-month ROW permit and its separate one-year permanent-pavement repair responsibility after completion. Confirm the dates for your driveway rather than treating those periods as interchangeable.

Questions about this bond

Is the $50,000 example also the residential-driveway form?

Jacksonville labels its $10,000 example for residential driveways and the $50,000 example for other ROW activities. Ask the Review Group which applies to the actual work.

Can a property owner be the principal?

The City treats an owner performing the work as a contractor. Confirm the accepted principal and any other eligibility requirements before issuance.

Does Purchase Now issue the driveway permit?

No. It opens Propeller in a new tab. Check the issued instrument, file the required original, and obtain Jacksonville's work authorization separately.
