What this bond does
The form requires the principal to excavate and restore the public place in compliance with the city's Street Excavation Ordinance, pay city costs incurred in performing work for the principal, and protect the city against incomplete or defective materials and workmanship for the stated period.
- Who needs it
- The contractor or principal excavating, or about to excavate, a public place within the City of Albuquerque.
- Who it protects
- The City of Albuquerque is the obligee. This public-place restoration security is different from a general contractor license or liability policy and from the city's separate sidewalk, curb and gutter bond.

Questions about this bond
Can I use the sidewalk, curb and gutter bond instead?
The city lists that as a separate form. This excavation form secures public-place excavation and restoration; use the instrument requested for the actual work.
Does the bond application arrange barricades or issue the ROW permit?
No. Albuquerque administers excavation/barricade permits and traffic requirements separately. Starting the bond application does not approve a closure or authorize excavation.
What happens after Purchase Now?
