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
Can I order a standard amount before applying?
The city's ROW construction handout leaves the amount to the Engineering Services Manager and says staff supplies security paperwork after application. Get that request first.
Does every ROW bond use the infrastructure performance percentage?
No universal percentage is stated in the ROW construction handout. The broader financial-security guide covers distinct infrastructure performance and warranty stages; ask staff which applies.
Will Mount Vernon accept any provider form?
The financial-security guide says Development Services supplies forms and other forms require City Attorney preapproval. Confirm the actual instrument before issuance.
Does buying the bond authorize work?
No. Provider issuance, city acceptance of security and the city permit are separate steps.
