What this bond does

Match the surety document to the City of Meriden licensing and permit file. Its License to Work, insurance, right-of-way bond and drain-layer bond checks are separate items.

Who needs it
Contractors completing Meriden's right-of-way or city-utility work process, including drain layers working on storm, water and sewer installations.
Who it protects
The city uses its own bond form for the applicable work and warranty security. The accepted instrument determines the secured conditions; a generic contractor label does not identify a single amount or period for every activity.

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.

Have Engineering identify the work category

The application lists different right-of-way amounts: $1,000 for its incidental grass-area category, $4,000 for listed sidewalk/concrete driveway/curb/ramp work, and $2,000 per 75 linear feet for excavation without prorating.

Use Engineering's assignment for your actual work rather than combining categories yourself. Multiple permits can be applied to a single bond, and release waits for the warranty period of the last project applied to it.

Keep the drain-layer document and permit approval distinct

The same application separately describes a $4,000 Drain Layers' Bond, valid for one year, for storm, water and sewer work including private property. It identifies P-1 or P-7 license-holder signatures for water, drainage and sewer permits.

Purchase Now opens Propeller in a new tab. Apply with the city-selected instrument, then check the issued document and deliver it under Engineering's instructions. The city approves the permit only when the license, bond and insurance information is acceptable.

Sources

Have these ready

  1. Have Engineering's work category and city bond form.
  2. Keep the License to Work, insurance and applicable surety documents distinct.
  3. Use the city-assigned amount and period rather than a generic contractor assumption.
  4. For water/drainage/sewer permits, have the applicable P-1 or P-7 license-holder information.

Questions about this bond

Is the drain-layer bond only for work in a public street?

The application says its $4,000 Drain Layers' Bond applies to storm, water and sewer work including private property.

Does one bond always mean one permit?

No. The city allows multiple permits on a single bond. It says the bond is not released until the last project's applicable warranty period expires.

Does a one-year drain-layer bond define every work warranty?

No. The application treats the Drain Layers' Bond's one-year validity separately from right-of-way work warranties. Use the conditions for the actual document and work.
