What this bond does

City of Niles, Michigan security for the identified single ROW excavation activity accepted by DPW.

Who needs it

Who it protects
The accepted bond concerns workmanlike excavation, permit compliance and filling/restoring openings in streets, alleys or public places to DPW satisfaction.

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.

Use the individual work record and actual security request

The selected individual application identifies applicant and contractor, work location, proposed start/completion, purpose, plans and whether street-pavement patching is needed. DPW completes the approval, permit-expiry, on-file evidence and satisfactory-backfill/restoration entries.

For earth excavation, the instructions require the applicant and a state-authorized surety to execute security of at least $1,000 before the permit. Obtain DPW's actual form, parties, assigned sum, covered opening and dates rather than assuming the source minimum is a fixed product attribute.

Niles also allows a continuing bond embracing qualifying work in one year, ordinarily at least $2,500 or another Council-required/approved sum. That is a different accepted arrangement. Do not assume a single-job bond extends to later sites or that the continuing rule sets this job's period.

Complete issuance and filing before actual work approval

DPW's instructions separately require primary and subcontractor public-liability/property-damage certificates covering underground hazards before permit issuance or subcontractor engagement as stated. Keep those certificates with the actual applicant/contractor record; security does not replace insurance.

Purchase Now opens Propeller. The option displays no fixed amount or term. Match the confirmed single-job instrument with the issuer, arrange applicant/surety execution and DPW-accepted delivery, and obtain the actual permit. The current forms page says to save and send completed forms as attachments or print/deliver, not submit them directly through the website.

Follow the work's actual locating, safety and patch/restoration instructions. Obtain DPW's satisfactory-backfill/restoration record and actual release conditions. The application expiry or completion entry does not by itself establish a surety refund or cancellation deadline.

Questions about this bond

Does the $1,000 instruction establish a fixed supplied option amount?

No. It is the selected instruction's minimum for earth-excavation security. DPW assigns the actual sum and form, and this option displays no fixed amount.

May I reuse the single-job bond for another opening?

Do not assume so. Match the actual covered work and ask DPW whether another instrument or its separately allowed continuing arrangement is required.

Does the bond cover the subcontractor's insurance requirement?

No. The instructions separately require applicable subcontractor certificates with underground-hazard coverage on file with DPW.
