What this bond does

For principals directed to furnish Meriden ROW security. Match the City's activity-based requirement, accepted bond value, and related permits rather than assuming every infrastructure job uses the same instrument.

Who needs it
Contractors, utilities, or developers directed by Meriden Engineering to furnish the ROW security for their particular work.
Who it protects
Meriden requires its own bond form for the applicable ROW activity and links release to the last associated project's warranty. Use that accepted instrument for the City's protection and remedies; it is not the contractor's liability insurance.

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.

Understanding Bond Obligations

The application lists $2,000 per 75 linear feet, without prorating, for excavation in City ROW including shoulders and snow shelves. It lists $4,000 for asphalt/concrete sidewalks, concrete driveways, curbs, and ramps, and $1,000 for the listed ROW/grass work incidental to trench connections. Have Engineering confirm the category for your actual activity.

Multiple permits may be applied to a bond, and Engineering accepts bonds with a value up to $10,000. Do not read that as a cap on combined construction costs. Release follows the warranty period for the last project applied to the bond. No fixed amount or term is displayed in this purchase option.

Warranty and Inspection Periods

The application's warranty schedule is three months for driveways, six for grass, twelve for sidewalks, and twenty-four for roadway work, with permanent pavement repair in place for twelve months. These obligations are separate from an advertised bond term.

Contractors may request the end-of-warranty inspection; otherwise the City inspects when notified by the bonding company. The application also sets a thirty-day permitted work period, requiring a new permit beyond it. That work window does not shorten the warranty or establish release.

Permit and Filing Procedures

Purchase Now opens Propeller in a new tab. Confirm delivery of this MAIL-labelled offering and check the issued principal, City form, sum, and dates before filing. The City must find license, bond, and insurance documents acceptable before permit approval. For water, drainage, or sewer work, the application requires a valid Connecticut P-1 or P-7 license holder to sign.

A Certificate of Insurance naming the City of Meriden as an additional insured is mandatory. Additionally, all contractors working in the right-of-way must maintain a $1,250 license fee on file with the city. Permit approval is contingent upon the acceptability of these documents and the submission of the city's official bond form.

Questions about this bond

Can one bond cover multiple projects?

The application allows multiple permits on one bond and says Engineering accepts bonds with a value up to $10,000. That is a bond-value limit, not a verified limit on total project costs. Confirm how Engineering will apply your permits.

When is the bond released by the city?

The bond will not be released until the warranty period for the last project applied to the bond has expired.

Is this the same as the Drain Layers' Bond?

The application separately lists ROW and Drain Layers' security. Ask Engineering which instruments your activity requires rather than substituting this ROW offering for a separate drain-layer request.

Who is eligible to perform sidewalk work?

Sidewalk work must be performed by contractors who are currently on the City’s List of Approved Contractors, accessible via the city website.
