Questions about this bond
Does the city provide its own bond form?
The current instructions say the bond is obtained from your bonding company. Have the provider and Engineering confirm accepted wording for the city's License and Permit Bond requirement.
Must I mail the original if I upload the bond?
The city says an original bond and insurance certificate do not need to be mailed if uploaded through its portal when applying for the ROW permit. Keep the original and follow any specific Engineering directions.
Does blanket coverage replace each excavation permit?
No. Bond-on-file security is a prerequisite, not individual work authorization. Each application still needs city review, applicable plans and the required work notices.
Does twelve-month coverage mean automatic release?
No. The city may require continuation certificates. Confirm continuing work obligations and any release or replacement requirements instead of assuming the calendar alone ends them.
