What this bond does

City of Madison Heights, Michigan security accepted for the identified ROW permit conditions and facility work.

Who needs it
The named applicant and actual contractor for the described street, alley or facility work, with their separate identities retained.
Who it protects
The accepted security concerns the specified permit conditions. The application's continuing facility duty is not proof of an unlimited or automatically annual supplied bond.

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.

Prepare the City-specific in-person submission

The current Building page expressly marks the ROW permit/bond form Must Submit In Person, despite offering other submission methods for some applications. The selected form identifies job address, parcel, applicant and contractor, the street and endpoints, work description and engineer's estimate.

Its plan instructions call for one drawing no larger than 24 by 36 inches, a readable 11 by 17 drawing and a PDF. City Engineer approval is required except for the specified residential sewer/water leads and curb-cut cases. Obtain actual permit approval; an online payment or provider application does not replace it.

Resolve the cash and performance-security entries

The packet calls for a $5,000 cash bond for ROW and then says a bond of $5,000 or 5% of the work, whichever is greater, must be on file. Its application separately requires a performance bond in an amount acceptable to the City. Ask the Department which instrument, sum and any additional cash requirement apply; do not assume this offered surety satisfies every entry.

Purchase Now opens Propeller. The option displays no fixed amount or term. Match the confirmed form, principal/City recipient, work and dates with the issuer, arrange execution and City-accepted delivery, and obtain the actual permit.

Keep the required liability insurance separate. The form requires 24-hour start and inspection notices and the permit/approved plans on site. Its operation/use/maintenance obligation lasts as long as the facility exists; confirm the actual security duration, acceptance and release rather than inventing an annual end date.
