What this bond does

Helps a Pierce County General ROW applicant obtain the correct county security request without importing sewer-contractor registration terms.

Who needs it
Applicants and contractors arranging security associated with work under a Pierce County General Right-of-Way Permit.
Who it protects
The county's accepted bond instrument defines the undertaking. The General ROW application states work and indemnity obligations, but those application provisions are not a substitute for the bond's actual coverage.

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.

Prepare the county-road project details

The county application requests applicant and contractor details, project address, legal-location information, project description, insurance number and bond number. Confirm the work is under Pierce County road authority rather than an incorporated city's or WSDOT's permit.

For a development project, the application directs submittal through the county permit portal; other applications use the listed General ROW email or mailing route. Follow the county's current instructions for your actual project.

Do not borrow the sewer-list bond terms

Pierce County separately publishes a Street Obstruction Bond package for registered sewer contractors. Its $5,000 registration requirement and form-specific dates and cancellation language do not establish the requirements for every General ROW application.

Ask the county to identify the actual form, named recipients, amount, work coverage and dates for this request. Whether this Propeller General ROW offering matches the required instrument remains factual-check-pending.

Keep issuance, permit conditions and acceptance separate

After the county and provider confirm the form match, use the existing Propeller Purchase Now option with the county's request. Submit the executed document by the instructed route and obtain county acceptance and permit authorization before work.

The General ROW form provides a 72-hours-before-work notification field, final-inspection contacts and Engineer's conditions. Complete the applicable notice and inspection steps with the county. Repair responsibility and work acceptance do not by themselves prove the bond has been released.

Questions about this bond

Does the county's $5,000 sewer bond set this amount?

Not automatically. That published package concerns registered sewer contractors. Have the county identify the security required for the actual General ROW permit.

Where does the General ROW application go?

The published form uses the county portal for development-project applications and the listed General ROW email or mailing route for others. Confirm the current route for your project.

Does the application define the bond's coverage?

It records work and indemnity obligations and asks for a bond number, but the accepted bond instrument defines the surety undertaking. That exact match is still pending.

What follows issuance?

Submit for county acceptance, obtain the permit and Engineer's conditions, complete required notices and inspections, and ask how the county documents bond release.
