What this bond does

The bond serves as a financial guarantee that the permitted work will be completed in accordance with the Lebanon Standards and Details and Specifications. It protects the city from costs associated with improper restoration or failure to maintain safe conditions during and after the project.

Who needs it
Contractors, utility companies, or excavators who perform work, including trenching, boring, or street cuts, within the city of Lebanon's public right-of-way.
Who it protects
The security addresses City restoration/safety obligations. The posted packet prohibits release before three years after completion and without written City acceptance; applicant damage duties do not establish unlimited surety protection.

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.

Bond Obligations and Scope

The City-hosted packet describes a $5,000 bond condition for its encroachment request. Obtain the City's accepted application and actual security direction for your work rather than copying the partly completed example's project or contractor fields.

The applicant assumes full responsibility for all injuries or property damage resulting from their work. This includes the duty to install and maintain necessary traffic control measures, such as signs, barricades, and lighting, to ensure the safety of pedestrians and motorists during the construction period.

Restoration and Release Conditions

All work must be restored to city standards within five working days of the completion of the principal activity. Landscaping, sod, or other surface features disturbed by the construction must be replaced to a condition equal to or better than the original state.

The posted packet prohibits release for three years after completion and also requires written City acceptance of improvements/restoration. Match the actual accepted document and release conditions; neither a scheduled finish nor the third anniversary alone is a release.

Permitting and Coordination

Applicants must submit an encroachment permit application to the Lebanon Planning Office, located at 401 S. Meridian Street, or electronically to the City Engineer. A $100 permit fee is required in addition to the bond documentation.

Clear communication with city officials is required throughout the project. The applicant must notify the City Engineer 48 hours before starting work and again upon project completion to facilitate necessary inspections and verify compliance with municipal standards.

Purchase Now opens Propeller; the option displays no fixed amount or term. Match the City-required principal/recipient, form, sum and dates, arrange execution and actual City document acceptance, and obtain separate permit approval before relying on work permission. The post-work hold is not a quoted three-year provider term.

Questions about this bond

What is the required bond amount for this permit?

The posted City packet describes a $5,000 bond. Confirm the actual City request for your work rather than treating a partly completed example as your assigned document or a universal Code amount.

How long does the city hold the bond after work is finished?

The packet prohibits release before three years after completion and also requires written City acceptance. That is not automatic release at three years or a confirmed provider term.

Does this bond cover private property damage?

The packet assigns broad damage responsibility to the applicant. That does not establish that the surety covers every private-property claim; the accepted bond defines its liability.

Can I start work immediately after getting the bond?

No. You must submit the permit application, receive approval, and provide 48-hour notice to the City Engineer before commencing any work.
