Butte-Silver Bow Right-of-Way Construction Bond
What it is & who requires it
Contractors and utilities carrying out construction within the public rights-of-way of Butte-Silver Bow — the consolidated city-county government covering the whole jurisdiction. Its right-of-way chapter is the most detailed in the state and governs permits, construction standards and restoration for work in the public way. Because the jurisdiction is consolidated, one set of rules applies across what would elsewhere be both city and county roads.
Obligee: City and County of Butte-Silver Bow. Citation: Butte-Silver Bow Municipal Code Ch. 12.04 (Construction Within Public Rights-of-Way), incl. the definition of “Bond”.

Renewal: Maintained with the local government for as long as you work in its rights-of-way.
Filing
Filed with Butte-Silver Bow before you construct within its public rights-of-way. Two features keep the amount off a price list. The chapter carries no dollar figure anywhere in it, and — unusually — it defines the word “bond” in its own definitions section to mean any of three things: lawful money of the United States; a cashier’s check, certified check, bank money order or bank draft drawn on an insured bank; or a bid, guaranty or surety bond from a surety corporation authorized in Montana. So a non-surety instrument satisfies the requirement by definition, and the amount is set for your particular permit. Both are confirmed when you apply. Where a financial guaranty or surety bond secures indebtedness, the chapter additionally requires the issuing company to carry an investment grade rating. Authority: Butte-Silver Bow Municipal Code Ch. 12.04.
