How Does a Contractor Avoid Right of Way Permit Bond Claims in Jackson County?

The Scottsboro, Alabama Code of Ordinances Chapter 32 lists industry standards and regulations that are to be followed by contractors performing a utility installation of facilities within a public right of way such as a sidewalk, street, or highway in Jackson County. The contractor must also oblige by the terms and conditions of the Utility Permit. As long as the code and permit are abided by, bond claims can easily be avoided. 

A claim on the Right of Way Permit Bond will typically only occur if the contractor commits any of the following violations:

It is in the best interest of the contractor to resolve any issues with the Public Works Department before a loss of the permit job and an expensive bond claim occurs. 

If Jackson County files a claim on your bond, immediately contact Jet with all available details and documentation. A Jet team member will brief you on our claim process, and will proceed with a review and investigation of all provided information. 

Bond claims that are found to be valid must be paid out by Jet up to the $10,000 bond limit. Per the Right of Way Permit Bond form, you (the contractor) are ultimately responsible for your actions and must reimburse Jet Insurance Company for your paid out claim. An omission to fulfil these terms may cause further difficulties in obtaining permit surety bonds in Jackson County, Alabama.
