Kitsap County, WA — Right Of Way Permit Bond

Kitsap County's ROW Inspector determines the required security amount for the actual county-road work. Its checklist lists blanket, indemnity, assignment and existing-bond alternatives; confirm the accepted route rather than assuming every applicant needs the same new instrument.

What this bond does

Secures the defined county ROW work and required restoration under the selected accepted undertaking.

Who needs it
Applicants and contractors constructing, altering or repairing work in Kitsap County ROW, rather than a separately permitted city street.
Who it protects
The published indemnity form names the Board of County Commissioners of Kitsap County as recipient and addresses restoration plus county protection against the contractor's negligence-related damage.

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.

Ask the ROW Inspector which security is required

The checklist separates initial plans, a site-specific traffic plan, the Engineer's estimate of work in county ROW and start/completion dates from supplemental insurance/security items. The Inspector determines the amount; blanket, indemnity, assignment or a bond on file may be considered.

Only one Propeller option is listed here. Have the Inspector and provider confirm the actual instrument and whether existing security suffices before requesting new issuance. County administrative alternatives are not additional checkout selections.

Use the permit's restoration period

The county indemnity form requires repair/replacement to the prior condition, trench backfill under permit conditions and a guarantee for at least the bond period specified on each individual permit. It does not supply a universal one- or two-year term.

Release requires authorization by Public Works Construction/Inspection. If the surety needs to cancel, the form requires at least 90 days' written notice to Public Works so a final inspection can be made. Do not treat notice alone as completed restoration or authorized release.

Submit security and complete county authorization

Prepare the correct principal, county recipient, construction description, amount and permit references, then use Purchase Now after form confirmation. Arrange principal/surety execution and deliver through current county instructions.

Provide the separately required insurance naming and any requested preconstruction photos/video or closure approvals. Obtain the actual ROW permit and inspection instructions before work; submit completion evidence and retain the county's release authorization.

Questions about this bond

Does every applicant need another new bond?

Not necessarily. The checklist lists several security routes, including a bond on file. Have the ROW Inspector confirm what the actual permit needs.

Does the indemnity form guarantee one fixed warranty period?

It refers to the period specified on each individual permit. Obtain that period rather than importing a neighboring jurisdiction's term.

Does 90 days' cancellation notice release the bond?

The form requires that notice so a final inspection can be made and separately requires Construction/Inspection authorization for release.
