What is a surety bond, and why do I need one for my Fort Collins, CO Right-of-Way License?

A surety bond is a three-way agreement between a Principal (the individual applying for a Right-Of-Way Contractor's License in Fort Collins), an Obligee (City of Fort Collins Engineering Department), and a surety company (the company financially backing the bond's guarantee). A surety bond is NOT an insurance policy for the principal; instead, it protects the Obligee from any liability resulting from misconduct or negligence on behalf of the Principal. This bond guarantees that the Principal understands and agrees to comply with all laws, rules, codes, and regulations set forth by Fort Collins - detailed in the Fort Collins Code Sec. 15-367.

This $20,000 is a pre-licensure requirement for anyone applying for a Right-of-Way license in the City of Fort Collins. The costs of the bond are as follows:

  • 1 year - $230
  • 2 years - $402.50
  • 3 years - $575

This bond is an "Instant Issue" bond, meaning that there is no underwriting required, and therefore no credit check for the application.

If, during the course of your work under a Right-of-Way License, there are any damages, liabilities, or issues that arise as a result of negligence or misconduct, there will be a claim filed against your bond. Your surety company will make the initial payments, at which point you will be obligated to repay the full amount, including any associated fees. In addition to repayment, your surety may revoke your bond, at which point your license will be invalid until you are able to file a new bond.

Claims against your bond are marks against your "credit" in the bond market, meaning that a history of claims will make it increasingly more difficult to obtain new bonds. Therefore, it is important that you and all employees working under the bond clearly understand the terms and expectations for both license and bond.

I was shopping for a surety bond for the first time and having trouble communicating with several different companies. When I contacted South Coast Surety they responded quickly and performed the transaction quick and easy. I might have been able to find a lower price, but their professionalism was worth a couple extra dollars.

We are opening up a Mental Health Residential Treatment Center and needed a Surety bond since we will be handling some clients cash resources. I reached out to South Coast Surety, they sent me an application, paid our premium and had our bond sent to us immediately. Everyone I spoke to and emailed was courteous, attentive and responded very quickly. We will most definitely continue to get all of our bond services from South Coast.
