What this bond does
The reviewed form secures the improvements specified in the grading permit and incorporated agreement, with performance of its conditions and stated city indemnity. It records the owner, principal, site address and parcel separately.
- Who needs it
- The principal and owner identified in the City of Oakland's accepted grading-security documents. Do not assume the contractor, owner and signatory are interchangeable or substitute a utility-excavation permit for the GR permit.
- Who it protects
- Performance security is not automatically the form's alternative labor/material payment undertaking. The copy includes an additional payment-bond clause for that alternative, so the accepted version matters. The sum is blank rather than a universal printed amount.

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
Does performance wording automatically include labor/material payment protection?
The reviewed form presents performance and payment as alternatives, with an extra payment-bond clause. Use the city's requested version rather than treating both as one automatic undertaking.
Can I use a street-excavation amount for this grading bond?
Not without the city's request. This form identifies a GR permit and leaves the sum open; a figure for another excavation instrument does not establish this amount.
