Detailed Information About the Connecticut Blanket Right of Way Bond:

The amount is a minimum

The town's Annual License to Perform Work Within the Public Street application lists the bond amount as $20,000 minimum. The applicant attaches copies of both the bond and the insurance certificate to the application, and the town must be named as additional insured on that certificate. The form also asks for the bond company and the insurance company.

Authority

The license is issued under the authority of the Town of Killingly Code of Ordinances, Chapter 13, and the licensee agrees to comply with the requirements of the referenced ordinances. The Engineering Department handles excavation within town streets, along with inspection and acceptance of public infrastructure.

Excavation permits

Individual excavation work in town streets uses a separate Excavation Permit form. On that form the applicant agrees to carry workers compensation, comprehensive general liability and automotive or mobile equipment liability insurance, to hold the town, the Town Manager and their agents harmless for claims arising from the permit, and to comply with town requirements and the Code of Ordinances.

Driveway permits are different

The Driveway Permit application says a Certificate of Occupancy or Certificate of Completion will not be issued until the driveway requirements are complete or a performance bond is posted with the town, and the work is to be completed within one year. That performance bond is a separate instrument from the annual license bond.
