What it is and who needs it.
What the street/road cut bond covers
Jefferson County requires a right-of-way use and construction permit — commonly called a street or road cut — for work in county right-of-way or easements. Its Transportation & Engineering division conditions that permit on a job-specific permit bond.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Jefferson County (the obligee). The bond guarantees that you restore any public road, street, or sidewalk to its original condition after the work is complete.
It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays the County on a valid claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore the cut to county standards treat the bond as a permit formality.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with Transportation & Engineering. Submit the executed bond with your right-of-way use and construction permit. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $100,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
