Questions about this bond
Must every contractor working for a bonded utility buy another bond?
The city's current utility ROW guidance says a separate contractor bond is not required in that arrangement because the utility provider is bonded. Contractors still need the applicable registration and insurance.
Is the $2,000 street-cut form interchangeable with the utility form?
Do not assume so. Round Rock publishes distinct $2,000 contractor and $5,000 utility forms for different roles. Match the actual request before issuance.
Does submitted once mean no renewal is ever needed?
No. The city qualifies that instruction by requiring security to remain active and be renewed as required. The actual form's dates and city instructions control.
