What this bond does

Secure the County's accepted right-of-way restoration and repair obligation under its highway-work permit. The County separately publishes a driveway permit; neither form should be substituted for the actual work request without review.

Who needs it
Property owners, contractors and utilities performing work within a County road right-of-way. Prepare the County route, Town, location reference, work description, applicant and contractor details.
Who it protects
The permit addresses restoration, maintenance of appurtenances and reimbursement for required repairs, with County-imposed conditions. The accepted bond controls its security; it does not approve pavement cutting or development outside the permit.

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 actual County work scope

The selected form expressly describes excavation within the highway boundary without cutting pavement. It asks whether pipe or casing will be driven beneath the road and requires underground crossings without disturbance of pavement and shoulders.

For a utility company's contractor or subcontractor, it also requests a Prevailing Rate Case number and includes a prevailing-wage acknowledgment. New or relocated underground facilities have an attached subsurface-utility as-built requirement. Confirm the conditions applicable to the proposed work.

Obtain the assessment and actual security dates

The form says security may be required and is returnable no sooner than twelve months after work completion. It does not state a flat penal sum for every job. Have Public Works identify the accepted bond, amount, principal, dates and release conditions.

Insurance may also be required after review. A twelve-month earliest-return statement is not automatic release on that anniversary or proof that the surety term starts on purchase.

Hold the executed permit before work

After the County confirms its surety requirement, use the existing Propeller application and submit the executed bond as directed. Complete the separate permit application and required insurance or project attachments.

The form requires the contractor to hold an approved, County-executed permit and special conditions in hand; telephone, verbal or email authorization alone is not sufficient. It also calls for five days' advance work notice, utility notification, restoration reporting and any required inspections. Notice does not promise a particular review time.

Questions about this bond

Is a bond required in one fixed amount for every County job?

The selected form says a cash deposit, certified check or bond may be required, without a flat amount. Public Works assesses the application and required instrument.

Can this permit be used to cut the pavement?

The selected right-of-way form expressly excludes pavement cutting. Obtain the County's actual authorization for the proposed operation rather than assuming a bond expands that scope.

Can email approval or bond issuance authorize the work?

The form requires an approved County-executed permit in hand, including special conditions. It expressly says telephone, verbal or email authorization alone is not effective.
