Rockville, MD — Public Right Of Way Bond

Use Rockville's public ROW performance wording for the same legal entity named on its Public Works Permit. The City requires notarized signatures and City Attorney approval coordinated through Public Works before permit issuance; issuer approval alone does not authorize a crane, obstruction or public improvement.

What this bond does

City of Rockville performance security for the work/protection and traffic obligations identified in the actual Public Works ROW permit and accepted form.

Who needs it
The individual, partnership, LLC or corporation named as permittee, using the corresponding City standard wording.
Who it protects
The City's accepted performance instrument secures the referenced permit obligations. It does not establish permission for every road with a Rockville address or payment/completion protection for every private building contract.

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 actual City ROW activity

Rockville's current protection-of-ROW process covers traversing/setup in City ROW or easements, work affecting adjacent property and obstruction of pedestrian/vehicle access. It specifically discusses crane setup and pods/dumpsters where private placement is not safely available, subject to Public Works determination.

Its instructions distinguish construction of public improvements and utility installation/maintenance from the protection/traffic process. Have Public Works identify the actual permit and work coverage rather than substituting Montgomery County DPS security or treating a private-property building permit as City ROW approval.

Purchase Now opens Propeller; the option displays no fixed amount or term. Match the City's assigned sum, legal recipient/permittee, reference, work coverage and dates with the issuer. Rockville requires a Maryland-authorized licensed surety and its individual, partnership, LLC or corporation wording; the bond and permit must name the same entity.

Arrange notarized execution and City Attorney approval through Public Works. The City's separate cash-security limit is not a standard performance-bond amount, and cash-return wording does not promise a surety release or refund on the same terms.

Apply through the City's MGO Connect link and follow the assigned reviewer's plan-submission/correction instructions. After the permit is approved and issued, follow its pre-construction/inspector directions. Obtain actual acceptance, continuing-security and release instructions; no fixed annual term or automatic discharge at the end of setup is supplied here.

Questions about this bond

Can an LLC use the individual or corporation wording?

Rockville expressly requires standard wording corresponding to the permittee's entity type and matching permit/bond names.

Is City Attorney approval separate from issuer processing?

Yes. Public Works coordinates City legal approval before permit issuance; obtain that acceptance and actual work permission.

Does a Rockville postal address mean County DPS security is enough?

Identify road/easement control. This offering concerns City Public Works ROW permission, not an established substitute for County or other authority requirements.
