What this bond does
Provide the City's permit-compliance security for the principal's approved building operations at multiple locations. The official form is expressly limited to building-operations permits and names the City acting through its Department of Transportation.
- Who needs it
- A permittee arranging DOT building-operations work at more than one City location, such as permitted use of streets or sidewalks for building-related operations. Confirm the legal principal, sites, work classifications, and coverage year.
- Who it protects
- The form addresses permitted work, protection and restoration of City property, deficient work, City costs, and permit compliance. “Liability Bond” does not make this a commercial general liability insurance policy or a guarantee of the whole building project.

Questions about this bond
Is this the two-to-fifty-location street-opening bond?
No. DOT separately publishes a $25,000 more-than-one-location building-operations form and a $50,000 two-to-fifty-location opening form. Confirm the work category before ordering.
Does the word liability mean this replaces my insurance?
No. DOT's general conditions separately require insurance. This is a surety permit bond with its own City-protection and compliance obligations.
Does cancellation erase obligations for prior permits?
The form says cancellation is not effective for permits issued or work performed before its effective cancellation date. Work-guarantee obligations can continue; obtain the required continuation and completion instructions.
