What is this bond?

This surety bond is a financial guarantee required by Benton County Electric Service for contractors and utility companies attaching their equipment to county utility poles. It ensures that the principal will safely maintain their attachments and pay any necessary fees or damages resulting from their use of the poles. If the contractor fails to meet their contractual obligations, the bond provides a mechanism for the electric service to recover their financial losses.

Who needs it?

Telecommunications companies, cable providers, broadband installers, and independent contractors looking to attach lines or equipment to utility poles owned by Benton County Electric Service in Tennessee typically need this bond. Any business entity entering into a pole attachment agreement with the utility provider must secure this coverage before beginning installation.

Why is it required?

Benton County Electric Service requires this bond to protect their public infrastructure and ensure contractors comply with local utility guidelines. It acts as a safeguard against unpaid attachment fees, structural damage caused by improper installation, or costs associated with abandoning equipment on the poles. Ultimately, it shifts the financial risk of non-compliance from the local utility provider to the surety company.
