What this bond does

Helps an applicant prepare the county's actual road-obstruction instrument, permitted-work details and distinct security/warranty dates.

Who needs it
Applicants performing installations, excavations, fills or obstructions in Walla Walla County ROW.
Who it protects
The form names Walla Walla County and covers permit-compliant completion, specified county costs, damage to county property, road-work warranty, county indemnity and lawful injury/property-damage claims arising from the permitted work.

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 county permit and actual work

The current county permits page groups the bond with the ROW permit for utility/frontage installation or repair and other county-engineer-approved occupation. It separately lists access permits, utility franchises, haul-route requests and special events.

Bring the county road, work limits, installation/excavation details and actual permit request. The bond supports the permit's defined work; it is not a statewide contractor-license bond or automatic authorization for every road use.

Confirm the amount and both time periods

The form leaves the amount blank for the actual undertaking. It remains effective for 24 months from execution, while separately warranting road repairs or construction for two years from final inspection. Expiration does not relieve obligations incurred earlier.

If the specified fees/charges reach the bond amount, the form requires an increase as determined by the County Engineer and addresses permit invalidation if security is not increased. Confirm the approved amount and dates rather than inferring a universal minimum or treating the two clocks as identical.

File with the County Engineer and obtain acceptance

Use the existing Propeller application with the county's form, then deliver the executed undertaking to the County Engineer as required. Obtain permit approval before work and follow the actual inspection and acceptance directions.

Cancellation requires at least 30 days' written notice and the County Engineer's concurrence; the form calls for a written response within 14 calendar days. Notice alone does not end the bond, and neither an expiration date nor final inspection erases earlier obligations.

Questions about this bond

Is the amount fixed in the published form?

No. The amount field is blank. Obtain the County Engineer's actual required sum; the provider option also supplies no verified amount.

Do both two-year periods start on the same date?

No. The form states 24 months from execution and a road-repair/construction warranty of two years from final inspection. It also preserves earlier obligations after expiration.

Does thirty days' notice automatically cancel it?

No. The form also requires County Engineer concurrence and provides for a written response to the notice.

Does this replace an access or utility-franchise approval?

The county lists those processes separately. Confirm all approvals required for the actual work; buying the bond alone grants none of them.
