Joliet, IL — Street Obstruction Bond
Match Joliet's actual street-obstruction security request before applying. The City's engineering-review paperwork also addresses construction security, but that does not establish the form or amount for every temporary street obstruction.

What this bond does
Security for the particular Joliet street-obstruction obligation identified by the City, once the accepted instrument is confirmed.
- Who needs it
- The legal party the City requires to provide obstruction security, coordinated with the owner, applicant and contractor rather than automatically the person uploading plans.
- Who it protects
- The accepted City instrument must define the secured obstruction duties. Do not substitute a general development-completion obligation or assume that a street-obstruction bond covers the entire project.

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.

Questions about this bond
Is the street-obstruction amount always 105% of construction cost?
That formula appears in the City's general Engineering Review Application. It does not by itself establish the amount or instrument for every street-obstruction request. Have the City identify the applicable security.
Should the electronic plans submitter be the bond principal?
Not automatically. The engineering form lists that person separately from the applicant and owner. Use the legal party required in the City's actual bond request.
Is a ROW vacation petition the bond application?
No. The City lists that as a planning petition. Obtain the actual street-obstruction permit/security request and have the issuer confirm the correct instrument.
