What this bond does

The bond supports the city's required street-opening security. Blanket security does not replace permission for each proposed excavation.

Who needs it
Contractors arranging Wapakoneta street-opening security for work within city right-of-way, including applicants asking whether one accepted bond can serve multiple openings.
Who it protects
The security concerns the city's street-opening obligation and restoration requirements. Obtain the actual blanket condition to establish its recipient, coverage period and enforceable promises.

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.

Confirm what the blanket condition covers

The Engineering Department's linked street-opening application requires $5,000 bonding, but it does not supply the complete blanket surety condition or a coverage period. Ask Engineering to confirm whether the proposed instrument covers your listed openings and whether any separate security is needed.

The application separately addresses payments for opening recently improved streets. Those payments are not the $5,000 bond amount and should not be copied into the surety application as additional bond limits.

Prepare the individual opening details

The application asks for the address, contractor, purpose, start date, duration and opening dimensions. It calls for contact with Engineering 24 hours before a street opening and says excavation must not start until a permit number is issued.

Traffic protection, trench backfill and repair remain work obligations even if the city accepts blanket security. The application states repairs within public ROW must be made within 30 days of completion of the work; that is not a stated bond expiration date.

Use the existing blanket-bond application

Purchase Now opens Propeller's Wapakoneta Blanket Right of Way / Street Opening Bond application in a new tab. Supply the confirmed form, legal principal, sum and dates rather than assuming the word Blanket establishes an annual term.

Check the issued instrument and file it as Engineering directs. Obtain the applicable opening permit and arrange required work notifications separately.

Questions about this bond

Does Blanket mean I can excavate without another permit?

No. The street-opening application expressly requires a permit number before excavation. Confirm how each opening is authorized.

Is this automatically an annual bond?

The catalog does not supply a term, and the application does not establish the blanket condition's duration. Obtain the required dates.

Is the recently improved-street payment the bond amount?

No. The application describes that payment separately from bonding. Have Engineering identify the security amount and other permit obligations.
