Dublin San Ramon Service District, CA Sewer and Water Installation Performance Bond
Overview
Dublin San Ramon Service District requires contractors to post a Sewer and Water Installation Performance Bond before breaking ground on sewer or water installation work within its service area. This bond guarantees that the contractor will complete the installation according to DSRSD's approved plans, specifications, and standards. If the work is abandoned or falls short of those standards, the bond gives the District a financial remedy. It is a project-level commitment, not a blanket license credential.
Who Needs This Bond?
Plumbing and utility contractors, civil contractors performing sewer lateral or water main work, and excavation contractors hired to connect properties to the DSRSD distribution system all need this bond. If you have been awarded a contract or received a permit to install, extend, or connect to sewer or water infrastructure within the Dublin San Ramon Service District, this bond is part of your compliance package. Subcontractors performing that physical installation work may also be required to carry it.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects Dublin San Ramon Service District and the public it serves by ensuring contracted sewer and water installation work is completed as promised. If a contractor fails to finish the job, performs defective work, or walks off the project, DSRSD can make a claim against the bond to cover completion costs or damages. It holds the contractor financially accountable for performance, not just for showing up. That accountability is what DSRSD requires before authorizing the work to begin.
When is it Required?
Before DSRSD issues final authorization to start sewer or water installation work, the District will ask for this bond as a condition of that approval. The request typically comes after plans are accepted and a permit or agreement is issued, but before any physical work commences. You will need the bond in hand and filed with the District before your crew mobilizes. Delaying the bond means delaying your project start date.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies exclusively within the service territory of the Dublin San Ramon Service District, which spans portions of Dublin, San Ramon, and nearby unincorporated areas in Alameda and Contra Costa counties. It is a local DSRSD requirement, not a state of California contractor license bond. Work performed outside DSRSD boundaries falls under separate jurisdictional authority and would require its own bonding.
