Questions about this bond
Is liability insurance a substitute for the $5,000 bond?
The current application requires both. Match each document to the City request and accepted filing.
Does the 48-hour closure notice replace the start notice?
They address different events. The application separately calls for 24-hour start notice and notice before/immediately after boring or cutting.
Is the surface-maintenance year the displayed provider term?
No. The option displays no fixed term. Use the accepted issued dates and City's actual restoration/release conditions.
