What this form is
This bond secures performance of permit conditions for work that cuts into, excavates, obstructs, or otherwise disturbs a public right-of-way. The principal promises to restore the right-of-way, maintain it for two years after restoration, and comply with permit requirements; the surety may be liable if the principal defaults. The form identifies a $5,000 penal sum and states that the bond remains in effect until the obligations are performed and the City releases it in writing.
Who needs it
A principal seeking a City permit to disturb public right-of-way must provide this bond with a surety and attach the surety officer’s power of attorney.
Why it needs a notary
The form has an acknowledgment block for the surety officer, who must sign before the notary and acknowledge authority to execute the bond for the surety.
