Questions about this bond
Is $5,000 always enough?
No. Livingston's packet calls for $5,000 or 100% of the estimated work cost, whichever is greater. Use the amount accepted for your work.
Does the bond end when the six-month permit ends?
No. The packet separates the permit period from security extending at least one year after City acceptance of restoration. Match the actual bond dates and continuing obligations to that requirement.
Can the property owner be substituted for the contractor?
The City's published Street Opening Bond names the excavation contractor as principal. Resolve any difference between the applicant, owner and contractor with Public Works before issuance.
