LaCrosse, WI — Right Of Way Bond

For a La Crosse excavation request, the city's current factsheet specifies a $10,000 Indemnity Bond for damage to city property. Excavation, temporary occupation and long-term encroachment follow different permit routes; do not assign excavation security to every ROW use.

What this bond does

Helps a La Crosse applicant match excavation indemnity security and distinguish permit-specific restoration duties.

Who needs it
Applicants asked for City of La Crosse ROW security, especially excavations and openings.
Who it protects
The excavation factsheet describes $10,000 indemnity security from an approved company for damage to city property. The accepted instrument controls the actual bond obligation.

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.

Identify the Engineering permit category

La Crosse's Engineering page covers streets, boulevards and adjacent sidewalks. It separately lists excavation/openings, dumpsters, temporary street privileges and revocable long-term occupation, including communications and gas/electric categories.

The excavation factsheet calls for indemnity security, a temporary traffic-control plan and separate liability/completed-operations insurance. Give Engineering the actual opening/location and requested instrument rather than treating a revocable occupancy renewal as excavation approval.

Separate security dates from restoration maintenance

The excavation instructions require restoration to original condition and maintenance for three years. That work duty is not, by itself, a published three-year bond period or a cancellation provision.

Confirm the accepted $10,000 indemnity form, principal, recipient wording and dates with Engineering and the provider before using the existing Propeller application. This option itself records no independently verified amount or duration.

File security and obtain the actual permit

The current Engineering page offers the permit portal, while the factsheet also describes application/insurance delivery to Engineering. Confirm the route for the actual project, submit issued security as directed and obtain work authorization before ordinary excavation.

Coordinate traffic control, restoration direction and required inspections. The city identifies special frozen-ground/recent-paving limits and narrowly defined emergency procedures; ask about those when relevant, then confirm maintenance acceptance and actual bond release.

Questions about this bond

Does every ROW occupation require the excavation bond?

That is not established. Engineering lists separate permit routes. Match the actual activity and requested instrument.

Is three-year restoration maintenance the bond term?

No bond period is established by that work-maintenance statement. Obtain the accepted instrument's actual dates, continuation and release terms.

Does buying security authorize a street opening?

No. Submit the required project materials and issued document, obtain the actual city permit and follow traffic-control and inspection conditions.
