What this bond does

Secures the specifically described Norfolk permit undertaking entered under Option F and accepted by Public Works.

Who needs it
Applicants with a Norfolk Public Works request directing a particular written purpose under Option F.
Who it protects
The City of Norfolk, Department of Public Works, is the named recipient. The written purpose, covered permits and bond conditions define the secured work; the letter F alone does not identify the obligation.

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 Public Works identify the exact Option F purpose

The city's form provides Option F for a stated purpose and asks for the exact purpose of the surety coverage. Obtain that wording and the work addresses and permit references before the provider prepares the form.

Options A–E separately describe infrastructure, street cuts, utility maintenance, driveway/grading and stormwater facilities. Ask the city whether the request truly needs Option F or another specified entry; do not use F to avoid identifying the work.

Keep the special description tied to permit conditions

Option F remains part of the same form's permit-compliance, satisfactory-completion and city-protection undertaking. A custom purpose does not remove those conditions or turn the bond into general security for every contract.

Specified active-permit security may be canceled only upon satisfactory completion determined by Public Works. Confirm whether the exact purpose also involves continuing facilities and any replacement protection before assuming completion ends all obligations.

Issue the written undertaking and file the original

Prepare the accepted purpose, legal principal, city recipient, amount and permit entries. Use the existing Propeller Purchase Now option only after confirming the provider can issue that required wording; no universal amount or term is supplied here.

The city form calls for signatures, seals, acknowledgments and attached power-of-attorney authorization, with the original sealed bond filed with Public Works. Complete the separate permit approval and retain the city's completion/release instructions.

Questions about this bond

What work does the letter F identify?

It does not identify a fixed activity by itself. The form requires the exact purpose for which coverage is being obtained.

Can I choose Option F for any ROW job?

Have Public Works confirm the required category and wording. The form separately describes specific activities under A–E.

Does a custom purpose remove the form's other conditions?

No. The covered work remains subject to the form's permit-compliance, completion and city-protection undertaking.

What should I confirm before applying?

Confirm the accepted written purpose, covered permits, principal, amount and any continuing obligations, then have the provider confirm that exact instrument.
