Lafayette Right-of-Way Construction Bond
What it is & who requires it
Contractors constructing in a Lafayette public right-of-way or easement under a permit. Lafayette runs a full contractor-license scheme alongside it — general, special, sign and satellite dish antenna installer classes among them, with a special contractor’s license limited to the particular trade named on it — and the right-of-way bonding provision sits inside that same article, so the license and the permit are read together. The security answers for compliance with the Code and for judgments and costs recovered against you by any person for damages arising out of negligent or wrongful acts in the permitted work.
Obligee: City of Lafayette (Public Works Director). Citation: Lafayette Code of Ordinances § 30-137 (Construction in public rights-of-way easements; bonding); §§ 30-130 to 30-136 (contractor license classes).

Term & renewal
Term: Held through the permit and the work it secures.
Renewal: Per permit.
Filing
Filed with the Public Works Director before any permit under the article issues, executed by you as principal and by at least one surety on whom service of process may be had in Colorado. No figure appears here because the applicant may file a bond or a letter of credit, and the amount is a formula — the total cost of construction including labor and materials, or a published floor, whichever is greater. Lafayette is one of five Colorado municipalities sharing this drafted provision. Authority: Lafayette Code of Ordinances § 30-137.
