Mentor, OH — Grading Bond
Mentor's site-grading application asks how erosion, dust and construction runoff will be controlled, and how the land will be stabilized afterward. Bring the actual grading-security request and permit conditions; the city's separate ROW open-cut bond is not a default substitute.

What this bond does
This listing is for the grading-bond request associated with the actual Mentor project. The city's site-grading application describes work through submitted construction documents and permit conditions; it does not itself establish a universal bond requirement or the full terms of this undertaking.
- Who needs it
- The owner or owner-authorized applicant preparing the site-grading request. The application has owner and applicant signature fields and separate contractor details. Match the required bond principal to the security instructions rather than assuming the permit agent, designer or contractor automatically fills that role.
- Who it protects
- Mentor lists contractor-registration security, utility-provider security, a job-specific ROW open-cut performance/maintenance bond and a site-grading application separately. Use the accepted grading undertaking to establish the secured work, recipient, sum, dates and release conditions; a registration or open-cut form does not prove it meets this request.

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.

Questions about this bond
Should I automatically use the city's ROW performance/maintenance bond?
No. The directory labels that form for job-specific ROW open cuts and lists site grading separately. Match the actual grading-security instructions.
Does the application's requested permit length set the bond period?
The application asks about the permit and proposed work. Use the accepted bond and requesting authority's instructions for its own dates and discharge conditions.
How do I start the grading-bond application?
Purchase Now opens RLI in a new tab. Match the Mentor grading request, required principal, exact recipient/form, sum and dates. Provider review/issuance, authorized execution and city filing do not themselves approve grading plans, issue the permit or release security.
