Fountain Right-of-Way Permit Bond
What it is & who requires it
Anyone who cuts, opens, trenches or excavates a street, alley, sidewalk, curb or gutter in Fountain under a permit. The bond guarantees the repair and replacement of defective or unskilled work, indemnifies the City against claims for damages from improper work or from negligent or improper barricading, blocking or lighting of the street, and assures the City of adequate repair of damage caused by your cut. The underlying duty is plain: make proper repairs after completing your work and leave the street, alley, sidewalk or curb in the same or better condition than you found it.

Term & renewal
Term: Good for one year, conditioned on faithful performance in strict compliance with the approved plans and drawings.
Renewal: Per permit, annually.
Filing
Filed in favor of the City before the permit issues. Fountain names the instrument — a surety bond, good for one year — but publishes no sum: the penal amount is set by the city engineer for the permit in front of them, which is why no figure appears here. The engineer may also waive the bond entirely, in the engineer’s discretion, for small or minor installations, so whether you need one at all is a permit-by-permit question. Authority: Fountain Municipal Code, street excavation permit provisions.
