Questions about this bond
Can every Odessa applicant choose $2,000 security?
No. The published requirement limits that arrangement to work not exceeding $2,000 in value under any one acquired permit. Confirm eligibility with Engineering.
Does the plumbing insurance alternative also cover state ROW?
The contractor packet expressly says it does not apply to state ROW. Ask Engineering whether its city ROW alternative applies to your actual request.
Does annual mean one year after I buy the bond?
The published requirement ties the period to the initial work permit and completion of work under permits issued within the covered year. Match the issued instrument to that request.
