Concrete Contractor ($10,000) Bond - City of Englewood, CO in Colorado

Brief Summary

Concrete crews pouring curb, gutter, sidewalk or alley work in Englewood need a city contractor license and a bond on file before the city will issue a right-of-way permit. The $10,000 bond lets you meet that requirement for a yearly premium instead of a cash deposit.

The City of Englewood licenses concrete contractors as Class D-6 under Englewood Municipal Code 5-7-8, and its right-of-way rules in Chapter 11-7 only issue permits to licensed and bonded contractors. This bond is written for $10,000 with the City of Englewood as obligee. Englewood contractor licenses expire one year from the date of issue, so the bond needs to stay active through each renewal.

Detailed Information About the Colorado Concrete Contractor ($10,000) Bond:

Who needs it

Englewood Municipal Code 5-7-8 creates a Class D-6 Concrete contractor license for forming and pouring concrete buildings and structures, including footings, foundations and flatwork. Work in the public right-of-way adds another layer. Section 11-7-4 makes it unlawful for anyone other than the city or a franchisee to do work in the right-of-way without a city contractor license, and says right-of-way permits are issued only to licensed and bonded contractors, or to a homeowner working at their own primary residence.

That means a concrete contractor replacing curb, gutter, sidewalk, driveway approaches or concrete alley in Englewood should expect to post a bond before pulling permits.

What the bond covers

This bond is written for $10,000 in favor of the City of Englewood. It backs the contractor's promise to follow city ordinances and permit conditions and to pay for damage caused by its work. Englewood's right-of-way code also makes every permittee guarantee its work for two years after the city's initial acceptance, under Section 11-7-10. The city can order repairs for defective workmanship, settling, unapproved changes, poor barricading or failure to clean up, and if repairs are not made the permittee pays the cost plus a 50 percent penalty.

Section 11-7-9 separately requires permit security equal to the total cost of construction or $5,000, whichever is greater, before each right-of-way permit is issued. Large jobs can therefore need more security than the license bond alone. Confirm with the City of Englewood which bond form applies to your work and the amount it expects before the bond is issued.

License term

Under Section 5-7-6, Englewood contractor licenses expire one year from the date of issuance. Starting work before the license is issued doubles the license fee. Englewood accepts contractor license and right-of-way permit submittals through its online portal at ims.englewoodco.gov.

Premium

The premium is a percentage of the $10,000 bond amount, set by the surety after reviewing the owner's credit and business history.
