Washington — Right Of Way Street Cut Bond

Before using this Washington Street Cut offering, identify the road authority and its actual permit-security request. A statewide catalog label does not mean one instrument is accepted by every city, county, utility district or WSDOT office.

What this bond does

Helps an applicant resolve the unnamed recipient and required instrument for this Washington street-cut offering.

Who needs it
Applicants who have a Washington road-opening or street-cut security request and need to identify the accepted form.
Who it protects
The requesting authority's accepted instrument defines the undertaking and protected party. This offering's actual recipient, scope and form match 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 road authority before selecting a form

Bring the road name, work limits, proposed cut or installation and the written permit request. Ask whether the road is under city, county or state control and whether a utility district also requires its own security.

Have the requester identify the legal principal, exact recipient wording, required amount and dates. The offering's Washington label does not establish a WSDOT requirement, local acceptance or blanket coverage for future work.

If the request is for WSDOT Form 224-049

WSDOT's Individual Bond for Agreement or Permit names the State of Washington and identifies a state route, county and agreement. Its amount and post-completion period are blank for the actual undertaking.

That form addresses compliance with the agreement, specified ROW restoration and written state discharge. These details apply if WSDOT requests that instrument; they do not prove the generic RLI Street Cut offering issues it or establish rules for local streets.

Confirm the RLI instrument, then obtain acceptance

The existing RLI Purchase Now option remains unchanged. Send the actual authority request and form to the provider and confirm the instrument before applying; the recipient and form match remain pending.

After issuance, file the executed document as the requesting authority directs and obtain the applicable work permit. Confirm inspection, restoration acceptance and release under that instrument rather than assuming a common statewide period or that provider payment authorizes a cut.

Questions about this bond

Is this automatically a WSDOT bond?

No. The catalog label does not name a recipient or establish the instrument. Confirm the requesting road authority and required form.

Can one purchase cover every Washington street cut?

That is not established. Ask whether the actual instrument covers one agreement, multiple permits or another defined obligation, and where it is accepted.

Does Form 224-049 set one amount and period?

No. Its amount and post-completion period fields are blank for the actual agreement, and it calls for written state discharge. It is relevant only when that instrument is requested.

What happens after provider issuance?

File for authority acceptance and obtain the actual work permit. Follow the accepted instrument's inspection, restoration and release requirements.
