Match the City's street-opening instrument

The City's current licensing/permitting page links its 2025 Rules and Regulations. Those rules separate contractor qualification from permission for the actual site and work dates. A licence does not itself authorize opening, occupying or obstructing a public way.

The bond section separately describes utility-layer and street-opening/performance bonds. The street-opening provision states $5,000 or a greater City-required amount for larger projects. Have the City identify which instrument or instruments apply and whether an express agency/utility exception applies; an exception to posting security is not a blanket permit exemption.

Check maintenance language, notices and acceptance

Purchase Now opens Propeller; the option displays no fixed amount or term. The City rules describe one- or three-year bond forms with three-year maintenance provisions for each year covered. Confirm the required form, City recipient/principal, amount, coverage and dates with the City and issuer; the rules' alternatives are not stated term choices for this option.

The maintenance period begins with City acceptance of the work. Release is subject to the stated review and approval, not simply the contractor licence's December 31 expiry or the date a patch was laid. Keep acceptance, inspection and any required correction records.

Arrange execution and City-accepted filing and obtain the actual OpenGov permit. The rules describe permit lead time, advance work/inspection notices and separate City utility markouts because the City is not a Dig Safe member. Follow both the required Dig Safe process and City coordination; neither a bond purchase nor one locate request supplies all permission to excavate.
