Fort Collins, CO Right of Way Contractors Participating in Underground Boring Bond
Overview
Fort Collins protects its public rights-of-way by requiring contractors who perform underground boring to carry this bond before any work begins. It guarantees that if a boring contractor damages city infrastructure, utilities, or the right-of-way surface, there is a financial remedy available. This is a city-level requirement — not a state license — enforced by Fort Collins for any contractor participating in underground boring operations within city-controlled streets and corridors.
Who Needs This Bond?
Contractors and construction companies performing horizontal directional drilling, utility boring, or any underground boring work within Fort Collins city rights-of-way need this bond. If your crew is boring beneath city streets, sidewalks, or public corridors in Fort Collins to install conduit, utilities, or fiber, this bond is required before you can proceed. It applies to the boring contractor specifically — not general contractors who subcontract the boring work out.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects the City of Fort Collins and the public from financial harm caused by underground boring operations gone wrong.
