Questions about this bond
Who signs the city application?
The cited form identifies the applicant signature as the bonded contractor. Confirm the same responsible entity is correctly named in the bond.
Does the opening permit approve a lane closure?
No. The application identifies traffic-control permits as separate requirements for lane, street and sidewalk closures.
Do the utility maintenance duties establish a perpetual surety bond?
No such term is established here. Obtain the actual bond condition and dates; the permit’s continuing duties and the surety’s liability must be read separately.
