Tacoma monitoring well bonds.
$100 flat.
The City of Tacoma requires a fixed $10,000 bond to install a ground monitoring well in the public right-of-way under a permit — ours is $100 flat, the price our carrier sets for this exact bond. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A ground monitoring well right-of-way bond is a restoration and performance guarantee. When you install or maintain a groundwater monitoring well in the Tacoma public right-of-way, the City wants a financial backstop that you'll protect the right-of-way, properly decommission the well, and restore the surface to City standards.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Tacoma (the obligee). If you fail to restore the right-of-way, abandon the well improperly, or violate the permit conditions, the City can recover its costs against the bond.
The bond must stay active for the term of your permit. Let it lapse and the City can pull the permit — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $10,000 filing continuous.
