Questions about this bond
Are the $10,000 and $50,000 amounts two checkout choices?
The city application describes those amounts for one-time and annual blanket bonds. This page provides one application route without a fixed displayed amount or term. Enter the scope and amount the city has requested.
Can the bond replace the traffic-control plan?
No. The published permit application requires the street-cut bond, written work-zone plan, and traffic-control plan together. The bond application is a separate step.
Does annual blanket bonding authorize each street cut?
Bond coverage and permit authorization are separate. Follow the city's permit process for the work; do not treat a blanket bond as permission to excavate any street.
What happens after issuance?
Check the bond's applicant, recipient, amount, and dates, then include it in the city submission as directed. Wait for the required permit approval before beginning the excavation.
