The contractor/principal for the City's covered ROW work, with work categories and any qualifying existing agreement or exception confirmed.

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.

Match the work category, not just the smallest form

The actual linked regulations call for Class 3 annual contractor security covering issued permits: $75,000 utility work, $10,000 driveways/sidewalks and $10,000 qualifying single-detached/duplex residential utility work. Mixed work uses the highest applicable category; City project/separate-security exceptions and discretionary adjustments apply.

Class 4 annual maintenance is a separate permit category with limited identified scope, not permission for every excavation. Certain residential building/trade permits can waive separate Class 1–4 permission without automatically excusing bonds/insurance. Have MSO identify actual classification, sum, coverage and required traffic permission.

Use current EPL applications and preserve the warranty period

The current City page says new applications use Enterprise Permitting & Licensing; already-filed ROWay permits remain there until expiration. Its lead times distinguish three business days without a traffic-control plan, five for standard traffic control, ten for special approval and twenty for full arterial/collector closure. Match actual plans and required notice rather than promising instant approval.

Purchase Now opens Propeller; the option displays no fixed amount or term. Match MSO's actual form, principal/City recipient, sum, covered work and dates, arrange authorized execution/accepted filing and separate insurance, then obtain the issued ROW and applicable traffic permission.

The regulations describe calendar-year security plus warranty and maintaining it twelve months from the last completed covered permit. The linked $10,000/$75,000 forms separately measure one-year maintenance from City acceptance of the work and require surety authority. Keep actual completion/acceptance and continuation/release records; December 31 or provider payment is not automatic release.
