Puyallup, WA — Street Obstruction Bond

What this bond does

Helps a Puyallup applicant resolve the Street Obstruction catalog label against the city's current occupation-versus-performance instruments.

Who needs it
Applicants arranging security for a proposed obstruction or occupation of Puyallup's right-of-way.
Who it protects
The current Occupation Bond binds the principal and surety to Puyallup for its specified permit compliance. Its acceptance as the instrument for this Street Obstruction provider offering remains factual-check-pending.

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.

Describe whether infrastructure will be disturbed

The city's current Occupation Bond excludes taking up, breaking, excavation, tunneling, undermining, cutting or otherwise disturbing or impacting city infrastructure in the stated public/private-property context. Tell the city about the actual setup, equipment, traffic control and any proposed cutting or installation.

Work that changes or disturbs improvements may require the separate Performance Bond. Do not choose occupation security merely because a project also obstructs traffic.

Confirm the name and form before issuance

The current city Occupation form states a sum of not less than $5,000 and identifies the permit. This page's RLI option is named Street Obstruction Bond; that label alone does not prove it issues the current Occupation form.

Have the city and provider confirm the exact instrument, principal, permit and required amount before applying. The match remains factual-check-pending; do not assume the separate performance, maintenance or blanket amounts apply to this offering.

Keep filing and release tied to the permit

Once the match is confirmed, use the existing RLI Purchase Now option and submit the correctly executed instrument, including the form's Power of Attorney requirement. Obtain city security acceptance and the permit before occupying the ROW.

The Occupation form describes discretionary City Engineer release after inspector acceptance and a finaled, closed permit. Its cancellation/expiration provision calls for at least 30 days' certified-mail notice and preserves accrued liability, while its terms require written city release. Do not import the Performance Bond's maintenance timetable into an occupation request.

Questions about this bond

Can I use occupation security for excavation?

The current Occupation form expressly excludes the specified excavation and infrastructure disturbance. Have the city select the required instrument for that work.

Is Street Obstruction the city's current form name?

It is this RLI offering's catalog name. The city currently publishes a Right of Way Occupation Bond; their equivalence needs confirmation before issuance.

What amount does the Occupation form state?

It specifies not less than $5,000. Obtain the actual required amount and confirmation that this offering provides the accepted instrument.

Does occupation security always need a two-year maintenance period?

The Occupation form ties discretionary release to accepted work and a finaled, closed permit. Do not borrow the separate Performance Bond's maintenance timetable.
