What this bond does

This bond supports the city's security requirement for new and replacement sidewalk work in the public right-of-way. It is distinct from the higher-security categories for street cuts and excavations.

Who needs it
Contractors installing or replacing sidewalks under a Lafayette, Indiana right-of-way permit.
Who it protects
The city is named as obligee, with the contractor's covered trade identified on the bond. The executed form defines the secured sidewalk-work duties.

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.

Use the sidewalk permit category

The City Engineer's bond policy lists $1,000 for new and replacement sidewalk right-of-way permits. It separately lists $10,000 for street cuts, excavations and oversize vehicles.

Describe the full work scope before ordering. A sidewalk job that includes other permitted activities needs the city to identify the applicable security and trades.

Prepare an acceptable original bond

Lafayette accepts a hardcopy original with raised seals and wet signatures or a non-scanned electronic original. An electronic bond without the principal's signature must be printed and signed to become valid.

The policy calls for the bond number, applicant's full name and address, signatures, covered trades, City of Lafayette as obligee, power of attorney and effective and expiration dates.

Apply and send the document to Engineering

Select Purchase Now for the Lafayette new-and-replacement sidewalk offering. Provide the permit category and required amount to the provider.

The city's policy directs bonds and continuation certificates to its Engineering Department or permit email. Keep the accepted bond with the sidewalk permit and arrange the required inspections.
