Kentwood, MI — Stormwater Management Bond
Kentwood's published stormwater performance form follows the final drainage-facility plans approved by the City Engineer. It calls for professional-engineer as-built certification and Engineering Department approval—not just the end of excavation.

What this bond does
The form addresses Stormwater Management Ordinance 9-84 compliance and construction of the stormwater detention facilities, floodways and/or surface/subsurface drainage facilities shown on approved final plans. Match the facilities actually included in your plan; do not assume every site includes all of those works.
- Who needs it
- The form joins the contractor, acting on behalf of and as authorized agent for the property owner/developer, as the principal. It provides separate owner/developer, contractor-agent and surety execution blocks. Confirm actual authority and legal identities instead of using the designer's name by default.
- Who it protects
- The published form prints $30,000 and names the City of Kentwood and the Kentwood City Engineer or their assigns, payable to the city. It remains effective unless its stated compliance, construction, professional certification and city-approval conditions are met; it also addresses court costs/attorney fees if city court enforcement is necessary. This is not the city's separate soil-erosion undertaking or liability insurance.

Questions about this bond
Can the contractor simply replace the owner/developer as principal?
The reviewed form describes the contractor as authorized agent for the owner/developer and joins them as principal, with separate execution blocks. Follow the accepted legal-party and authority instructions.
Is an engineer's as-built certification enough for release?
The form also requires approval by Kentwood's Engineering Department. Do not treat the private professional certification alone as city acceptance.
