Kenosha, WI — Street Opening Bond

Before ordering Kenosha street-opening security, ask Public Works whether the request concerns registration's $10,000 Permit Bond, excavation's $3,000 repair bond or another specified instrument. The Street Opening label alone does not settle that match.

What this bond does

Helps a Kenosha excavation applicant resolve the requested instrument and opening/restoration details before purchase.

Who needs it
Contractors opening or excavating City of Kenosha ROW under a Public Works request.
Who it protects
The accepted instrument defines the undertaking. The current excavation packet describes repair security separately from registration's ordinance-compliance Permit Bond; this offering's exact match remains pending.

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.

Describe the actual street opening

PWE002 asks for the opening size/method, surfaces affected, utilities, contractor, emergency contact and estimated dates. A continuous project can generate permits for multiple addresses. Main-thoroughfare work needs the specified traffic-control review; road closures also carry affected-owner notice requirements.

The packet describes a five-year restriction after street improvement/repaving, subject to the City Engineer's stated emergency exception. Check that restriction before assuming an opening can be approved. It is not a five-year bond term.

Resolve repair versus registration security

PWE010 registration precedes excavation application and calls for $10,000 Permit Bond security. PWE002 separately names a $3,000 repair bond; after the warranty it may be released at the applicant's option or retained for future permits.

Ask the city which instrument its Street Opening request means, the required form/parties and actual warranty dates. Do not assume this option is the repair bond, or a substitute for the separately offered ROW Permit Bond, without provider confirmation.

Obtain permit approval and complete restoration

The existing Propeller Street Opening option remains available with its exact form match pending. Confirm the city's request before applying, then file the executed instrument as Public Works directs and wait for the approved project permit.

Keep the permit available onsite, coordinate technician notifications and follow restoration requirements. The stated permit completion date, repair-warranty closeout and any registration renewal are different events; confirm actual security release rather than assuming purchase or a finished cut ends liability.

Sources

  4. File executed security, obtain approval and confirm restoration/warranty and release.

Questions about this bond

Is this definitely the $3,000 repair bond?

That match is not established by the catalog label. Give Public Works and the provider the actual request; the registration packet separately names a $10,000 Permit Bond.

Does the five-year paving restriction define the bond term?

No. It concerns when an improved street may be opened, with the stated emergency exception. Obtain the accepted security's own dates.

Is repair security automatically returned at completion?

PWE002 describes release at the applicant's option at the end of the warranty or retention for future permits. Confirm the actual warranty and accepted instrument.
