What this bond does
The form secures grading under the identified permit, plans and profiles on file with the city's Engineering Division, plus applicable-law compliance and the stated completion/maintenance obligations. The legal obligee printed on the form is the City of San Buenaventura, not Ventura County.
- Who needs it
- The principal applying for the grading permit and a surety licensed in California to execute bonds/undertakings. Match the permit number, site location and legal parties to the city's accepted request.
- Who it protects
- The City Engineer determines the sum under the cited municipal-code provision. The form permits an increase or decrease by a rider executed in the same manner, and requires completion/maintenance performance or the specified surety response and city default expenses. It is not a fixed amount for every site or liability insurance for the principal.

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.
