Washtenaw County, MI — Road Commission Permit Bond

Check eligibility before arranging a Washtenaw County Road Commission surety. Its current security guidance accepts Commission-form bonds only for utility permits and only from a public utility company. Other ROW restoration security uses a letter of credit, cash or cashier's check; a county-road address alone does not make this offering suitable.

What this bond does

Washtenaw County Road Commission security accepted for an eligible utility permit; the exact instrument and applicant/provider match remain factual-check-pending.

Who needs it
An eligible public utility company coordinating the actual utility owner/applicant and performing contractor for county-road work.
Who it protects
The accepted security addresses proper permitted construction and ROW restoration. Non-utility security, permit approval and contractor insurance remain separate.

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 public-utility eligibility and the Commission's form

The current Commission security guidance limits corporate surety to utility permits and public utility companies. Do not substitute a general road-work bond for cash or a letter of credit on a non-utility driveway, open-cut or other job.

Its current application index separates commercial, residential, utility, miscellaneous, blanket and small-cell routes. The selected utility packet distinguishes applicant/property owner and contractor and requests location, township, road side and installation/repair activity.

Bring the actual utility permit request and obtain the Commission's accepted bond form, principal, sum, work scope and dates. The utility packet calls for applicable signed/sealed construction plans and an itemized ROW estimate, with contractor information supplied before permit issuance.

File accepted security and obtain the work permit

Purchase Now opens Propeller. The option displays no fixed amount or term. Have the issuer match the Commission-confirmed eligible applicant and instrument before execution and accepted delivery. The current electronic application route does not establish executed-bond filing instructions.

The selected utility packet also requires contractor liability evidence naming the Commission as additional insured and certificate holder. Obtain the actual permit and provide the Commission's two-day advance work notice through its inspection process.

Request a final inspection when work is complete. The Commission warns that vegetation establishment, seasonal conditions and required repairs can delay release; completed work and paid invoices are required for release of refundable funds or surety. Obtain actual security closeout rather than assuming the excavation finish date ends responsibility.

Questions about this bond

Can any contractor use a surety instead of cash?

No. The current Commission guidance limits this alternative to utility permits and public utility companies. Obtain confirmation of your applicant and actual instrument.

Is a blanket utility permit automatically included?

No. The current index has a separate blanket route. Confirm whether the actual security is for an individual utility job or an accepted continuing programme.

Does finishing the trench automatically release the bond?

No. Request final inspection. Restoration, vegetation, repairs and outstanding invoices can affect Commission release; obtain actual acceptance.
