Questions about this bond
Can an agency submit the Merced permit application?
The city's page says yes, but a contractor is needed to execute and release the permit. Confirm separately which party the city wants named on the bond.
Does the permit-validity period establish when the bond renews?
No. The permit's timing and the bond's term are different matters. No fixed bond term is displayed in this offering.
Does Purchase Now submit the city permit application?
No. It opens the existing provider application for the bond. Merced's Engineering page directs permit applicants to a separate city permitting account and process.
