What this bond does
The $5,000 form secures completion under street-cut permits for excavation, backfilling, grading, paving or repair in public streets or alleys, including the required guarantee periods. Use Purchase Now with the county's actual permit/bond request ready.
- Who needs it
- The contractor, person or firm performing the street-cut work and named as principal. The form names the County of Washoe as obligee and contemplates subsequent permits while the obligation remains effective.
- Who it protects
- The county receives performance and restoration security under Chapter 85. This is different from a Nevada contractor license bond or liability insurance, and the listed street-cut activities do not establish coverage for unrelated site work.

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.

Questions about this bond
Does this cover work anywhere in Washoe County?
The reviewed form specifies public streets or alleys in the unincorporated county. Do not assume acceptance by Reno, Sparks or another authority.
Does 90 days mean a 90-day bond term?
No. It is a county-received surety cancellation-notice provision affecting later permits, not an automatic expiry or release of earlier permit guarantees.
