What this bond does
The form secures compliance with Kentwood's soil erosion/sedimentation ordinance and faithful performance of the Earth Change Permit and application within the permit's specified time. It incorporates the permit rather than supplying a general contractor license or unrelated street-opening promise.
- Who needs it
- The contractor on behalf of and as authorized agent for the property owner/developer, jointly and severally described as the principal in the reviewed form. The signature blocks separately identify owner/developer, contractor/agent and surety.
- Who it protects
- The published form names the City of Kentwood and Kentwood City Engineer or their assigns and prints $5,000. Use the actual accepted request; this December 2004 revision does not establish that every current project accepts that amount or edition.

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
Does naming the contractor remove the owner/developer from the form?
No. The reviewed form describes the contractor as authorized agent and jointly/severally identifies the principal, with separate owner/developer and contractor signing blocks. Match the accepted request.
Does the 365-day footnote give an automatic bond expiry?
It addresses project completion where the permit specifies no time limit. It is not a purchase-based bond expiry or release instruction.
How do I apply for the requested Kentwood bond?
