Single Job Right of Way Bond - Town of Frisco, CO in Colorado

Brief Summary

A single job right of way bond covers one excavation permit in Frisco and nothing else. The amount is set by the size and surface of your cut, the Town no longer takes cash, and the bond stays with Public Works for two years after the work, so a surety bond keeps that money in your business instead of sitting with the Town.

Frisco Town Code Chapter 87 requires a performance bond before an excavation or right of way permit is issued, and each permit covers only one excavation site. Section 87-5 sizes the bond by the area of the cut at $100 per square yard for dirt or gravel, $250 for asphalt and $350 for concrete, with a $1,000 minimum. The bond is posted with the Public Works Office Manager and is released after a two year warranty period.

Detailed Information About the Colorado Single Job Right of Way Bond:

One permit, one site, one bond

Frisco requires a permit from Public Works for any excavation or right of way work by anyone other than a Town employee, under Section 87-1 of the Town Code. Section 87-17 says no permit can cover more than one excavation site. This single job bond is the bond for that one permit. A contractor who opens cuts on several streets over a season needs a bond for each job, or a blanket bond arrangement with the Town, which is a different bond.

Utility installations wholly contained within private property do not need to be bonded under Section 87-3. Work in the street, alley, sidewalk or any public easement does.

How the bond amount is calculated

Section 87-5 sets the amount by surface type, per square yard or portion of a square yard disturbed.

• Dirt and gravel: $100 per square yard
• Asphalt: $250 per square yard
• Concrete: $350 per square yard

The minimum for any performance bond under the chapter is $1,000. The Public Works permit page lists the same $1,000 minimum and a two year bond term, and it no longer accepts cash bonds. The bond is uploaded with the application and posted with the Public Works Office Manager.

What the bond guarantees

The permittee must bring the cut to an acceptable temporary condition within 24 hours of starting, finish permanent repair within ten days, and leave no asphalt or concrete cut without permanent repair after October 31. Street patches carry a two year warranty from acceptance. If the Public Works Director orders remedial work during that warranty and it is not done within 15 days of written notice, or the deadlines above are missed, the Town can collect on the bond. After the two year warranty, and an inspection showing the work meets the code, the bond is released.

Fees, insurance and timing

The Town lists a $300 permit fee. Section 87-5 also requires a certificate of insurance showing at least $1,000,000 of personal injury and property damage coverage, and Public Works asks that the Town of Frisco be named as additional insured. Section 87-15 limits permits to holders of a Town business license. Excavations deeper than three feet are permitted only from April 15 to October 15, and applications are not accepted after October 14. Confirm the bond amount for your cut with Public Works before the bond is issued.
