What this bond does

Provide project-specific facilities/utility right-of-way security accepted by the City of Sioux Falls.

Who needs it
Contractors or facilities applicants performing covered utility, pole, sign or other installation/repair/removal work in city rights-of-way.
Who it protects
The city-required language includes permit performance, restoration, labor/material payment and defective-work replacement, as well as specified amounts owed to the city. It is broader than a promise merely to refill one trench.

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.

Match the project and required language

The August 2024 city packet groups contractor right-of-way work and specific facilities/utility bonds under the required Section 96.030 and 96.241 language. It lists $10,000 security and requires the company name to match across forms, bond and insurance.

Describe the actual facility, location and permit. This listing is project-specific; have Engineering and the provider confirm that scope instead of assuming it covers unrelated future projects or separate building-mover/sump-pump obligations.

Keep defect duties separate from cancellation

The required wording includes replacing defective work within three years of project completion. Its cancellation/nonrenewal language also restricts notice after construction and requires written notice to the city.

Do not convert those provisions into an assumed three-year purchase term or an automatic cancellation date. Confirm the executed condition, project completion and any continuing city obligations.

Execute and deliver the original

Have the provider check the city-required wording, principal, sum, project and dates before purchase. The packet requires notarized principal/surety signatures with matching acknowledgment/signature dates and the original bond mailed or brought to Engineering.

Separate insurance evidence is required, and sewer/water contractors must supply the identified state license. Deliver the documents and obtain the permit; a digital purchase receipt is not the original bond or work authorization.
