About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the blanket bond actually covers

Arapahoe County requires a contractor to have a surety bond on file before it will issue a permit to construct, remove, repair, or maintain utilities and facilities in the public right-of-way. A blanket bond covers your ongoing work under a county registration, so you do not post a fresh bond for every permit.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Arapahoe County (the obligee). The bond stands behind your compliance with county standards and your restoration of the right-of-way after you've worked in it.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the county, you repay the surety. The amount is set by Arapahoe County; pricing on that amount starts from $100, and the application collects no credit information.
