What this bond does
The District identifies an Encroachment/Maintenance Bond in its development-services submittals. It concerns work involving District infrastructure and belongs with the project's engineering documents, not a general contractor-license application.
- Who needs it
- This bond is intended for contractors, developers, or owners planning water service development, main extensions, or related construction projects that involve encroachment on Sacramento Suburban Water District facilities.
- Who it protects
- This is security for Sacramento Suburban Water District's encroachment and maintenance request. Use the District's form for the secured duties rather than substituting a city street bond or assuming the document replaces liability insurance.

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.
