Englewood, CO Public Right of Way Bond
Overview
Englewood, Colorado requires contractors to post a Public Right of Way Bond before performing any work that disturbs, occupies, or impacts city-owned right of way. This bond protects Englewood and its residents by guaranteeing that any contractor working in public streets, sidewalks, alleys, or other right of way areas will restore those spaces to the city's standards. If a contractor leaves a trench unrepaired, damages pavement, or abandons a job site without proper restoration, the city has a financial guarantee to cover the cost. It is a local City of Englewood requirement — not a Colorado state contractor license.
Who Needs This Bond?
Utility contractors, excavation contractors, and pavement or concrete contractors working in Englewood's public right of way are the most common applicants. Any contractor pulling a right of way permit from the City of Englewood — whether for street cuts, underground utility work, sidewalk replacement, curb and gutter work, or similar activity — must have this bond on file before the city issues the permit. Subcontractors performing this scope of work under a general contractor may also be required to carry it depending on how the permit is structured. If your work touches Englewood's public streets, alleys, or sidewalks, this bond applies to you.
What is this Bond For?
This bond guarantees that contractors will complete right of way restoration work in Englewood according to city standards and will not leave public infrastructure damaged or incomplete. It is not a performance bond on a private construction project — it specifically covers the city's public right of way. Englewood can draw on this bond to repair or restore public property if a contractor fails to do so after completing permitted work. The bond protects the city's infrastructure investment and ensures the traveling public is not left with hazardous or deteriorated conditions.
When is it Required?
Before Englewood issues a right of way permit, the city will require this bond to be in place. That means you need to secure the bond before you pull the permit — not after the permit is issued and not when you break ground. If you are bidding a job that will require right of way access in Englewood, build this bond into your pre-work checklist so you are not holding up your permit and your start date. The city will confirm the bond is active before authorizing any work in its public right of way.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is specific to the City of Englewood, Colorado. It satisfies the right of way bonding requirement imposed by Englewood's public works or permitting authority — it does not apply to work in neighboring Arapahoe County, Denver, Littleton, or any other jurisdiction. Each city sets its own right of way bonding requirements, so a bond issued for Englewood does not carry over to another city's permit process.
