What this bond does

Helps a Puyallup applicant prepare project ROW performance security rather than non-disturbing occupation or a general contractor-license bond.

Who needs it
Applicants and contractors performing permitted ROW construction, excavation, repair or other covered improvement work in Puyallup.
Who it protects
The form binds the principal and surety to the City of Puyallup for compliance with the listed permit or permits and applicable city requirements, with the stated post-acceptance repair obligations.

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.

Identify the work and approved estimate

The city's Performance Bond form describes excavation, tunneling, grading, paving, construction, repair, removal of listed improvements and traffic-control work in city ROW. Use the actual permit references and the city's approved estimate of covered work.

The current form states a penal sum of 150% of estimated ROW work. The city's forms page separately lists non-disturbing ROW occupation, maintenance, stormwater and blanket instruments; this single project-performance offering does not automatically provide those other instruments.

Plan for acceptance and the maintenance stage

The published form allows release at the City Engineer's discretion after inspector acceptance, a finaled and closed permit and provision of the required maintenance bond. Without a maintenance bond, it continues for two years after city acceptance of the work.

If the city identifies repair work during that two-year period, the form extends the guarantee to one year after the repair is accepted or the end of the original two-year period, whichever is later. These periods run from the specified acceptance events, not automatically from the bond's issue date.

Obtain the permit and keep written release records

Use the existing Propeller application with the city form, correct principal, permit information and approved amount. The form requires principal and surety execution and an attached Power of Attorney. Submit it as the city directs and obtain permit authorization before work.

The form specifies at least 30 days' prior written notice to the city by certified mail for its cancellation/expiration provision and preserves previously accrued liability. It also requires written city release under its terms. Do not treat a notice, scheduled expiration or completion of field work as proof that the city's security requirements have ended.

Questions about this bond

Does non-disturbing occupation use the same instrument?

The city publishes a separate ROW Occupation Bond for occupation without the specified disturbance or infrastructure impact. Have the city choose the instrument for the actual activity.

Is this simply a two-year bond from issuance?

No. The published form ties the post-work period to city acceptance, provides a maintenance-bond alternative and may extend for identified repair work.

Can maintenance security replace this bond at closeout?

The form provides for discretionary release after accepted work, a finaled/closed permit and the required maintenance bond. Obtain the city's actual acceptance and release decision.

Does a cancellation notice prove release?

No. The form contains specific notice and accrued-liability provisions and calls for written city release under its terms. Confirm the city requirements rather than relying on notice alone.
