What this bond does

Helps a SeaTac ROW applicant match the permit class, approved construction estimate and requested instrument before applying.

Who needs it
Applicants arranging security for development or other permitted work in SeaTac's city ROW.
Who it protects
The city's accepted instrument defines the covered ROW undertaking to SeaTac. The precise bond form and match to this offering remain factual-check-pending.

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 permit class and construction scope

SeaTac's ROW page lists Class A events, Class B short-term use/over-legal loads, Class C development, Class D franchise utilities and Class E haul applications. Describe the actual activity rather than choosing a form from the ROW label alone.

For construction review, the page requests the application, traffic-control plan and engineering plans/specifications, plus contractor registration and city business licensing. Road-work authorization remains a city permit decision, not a provider transaction.

Get Engineering's verified amount

The city's published process has the applicant prepare the Bond Quantity Worksheet after plan approval and submit construction costs for Engineering verification. It describes development bonds calculated at 120% of cost, with stated exceptions for new single-family residences outside a short plat and permittees with a franchise agreement.

Confirm how that guidance applies to the actual permit and whether security is required. Do not import the separate clearing/grading page's wording, turn an exception into automatic permit approval or assume all five ROW classes have identical bond terms.

Confirm the paper bond and city acceptance

The ROW page describes cash, bank security and a paper bond as possible security methods. This page offers one Propeller surety application, not each of those alternatives as a separate purchase choice.

Obtain the accepted surety form, principal, recipient wording, amount and dates; its exact match remains pending. After issuance, post the executed security as the city directs and obtain the permit. Ask for inspection, restoration and release requirements rather than inventing a maintenance period.

Questions about this bond

Does every ROW use automatically require 120% security?

The published page describes a development-bond calculation and stated exceptions while listing several ROW classes. Have Engineering identify the requirement for the actual permit.

Who verifies the construction estimate?

The published process has the applicant prepare the Bond Quantity Worksheet after plan approval and submit the costs to Engineering Review for verification.

Does this offer cash or a letter of credit?

No. The city describes alternative security methods, but the existing purchase option here is a Propeller surety application.

What bond term should I choose?

Use the city's accepted form and required dates. No fixed period is supplied by this option or established by the ROW page read for this review.
