Questions about this bond
Does the maintenance year start when the permit is issued?
The reviewed packet also uses Town conditional acceptance as a trigger. Ask DPW to resolve the two provisions for your permit rather than assuming either date.
Is this a Colorado contractor-licence bond?
No. This page concerns the Town of Westminster, Massachusetts street-opening requirement and its public-way work.
Can I start immediately after the bond is issued?
No. Obtain the Town permit, accepted security filing and DPW work instructions. Seasonal or other work permission is separate from bond issuance.
