What this bond does

Helps a contractor prepare San Juan County approved-contractor security and the separate project ROW permit steps.

Who needs it
Washington-licensed general contractors seeking approval to work in San Juan County road ROW.
Who it protects
The county's accepted bond instrument defines the undertaking. Its approved-contractor guide establishes the standing security request, not a guarantee to complete every unrelated construction 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.

Prepare the approved-contractor submission

The county guide requires state contractor licensing, a Certificate of Insurance naming San Juan County Public Works as additional insured, and a $5,000 Street Obstruction Bond. Contact Public Works to request addition to the approved list and provide the business/contact information and required documents.

The insurance additional-insured wording is not a substitute for the bond's actual recipient wording. Obtain the accepted instrument and have the provider confirm the principal, recipients, dates and coverage before issuance.

Apply separately for the actual county-road work

The county ROW process covers permanent or temporary access to county roads and installation of utilities or other permanent fixtures in county-road ROW. The county says permits are contingent on selecting an approved general contractor.

The current page directs online applications through the SJC Permit Center with the required application, site plan, stormwater documentation, utility checklist and owner authorization where applicable. Contractor-list approval is not that project permit.

Follow the issued permit's conditions

Use the existing Propeller offering with the county's accepted bond form, then deliver the executed security to Public Works as directed. Confirm approval of the contractor submission and obtain the project permit before work.

The currently linked standard conditions call for contractor verification, construction notice 48 hours before starting and an inspection request when work is complete. The county issues applicable standards and job-specific conditions with each permit. Ask how the bond is continued or released; a project inspection does not by itself end standing contractor security.

Questions about this bond

Is the $5,000 bond a permit for a particular job?

No. The county's guide lists it among approved-contractor requirements. The actual county-road ROW work needs its separate permit.

Who performs county-road ROW work?

The county requires a general contractor approved by Public Works. Confirm current list status before the project begins.

Does insurance additional-insured wording identify the bond recipient?

Not by itself. The guide's insurance requirement is separate; use the recipient wording in the county's accepted bond form.

What notice and inspection apply?

The linked standard conditions call for 48-hour construction notice and an inspection request at completion. Follow the actual issued permit and any job-specific conditions.
