Questions about this bond
Is this for customs import or export cargo?
The City's requirement concerns earth materials moved in grading and hauling operations. Match the actual Los Angeles grading-project request. Customs and cargo import arrangements are separate.
Is 1,000 cubic yards the bond threshold?
No. Section 62.202 allows a bond condition for more than 100 cubic yards in a hillside grading project. The posted June 2026 bulletin's more-than-1,000-cubic-yard hearing rule addresses a different approval step. Obtain the City's project determination.
Does coverage end when hauling stops?
The code keeps the bond in effect until hauling is completed and Public Works has subsequently inspected the affected public streets. Confirm both parts through the City's process rather than treating the last hauling day as automatic release.
