Term & renewal
Term: Restoration is guaranteed for two years from the date the work is completed; a maintenance and warranty bond on a development is held by the City for two years.
Renewal: Per-permit or per-project.
Filing
Filed with the City of Renton for a permit to excavate or work in a street or public place. Renton sizes the security against the anticipated cost of the work rather than fixing a flat figure, and the City may demand a cash sum as security instead of a surety bond, so the bond is listed here and the required amount is confirmed when your permit is issued. Larger jobs carry their own guarantees — a development performance bond set above the written cost estimate, and a maintenance and warranty bond the City holds for two years after the work is accepted. Authority is Renton Municipal Code 9-10-2 and 9-10-5.
