What this bond does
The published form requires compliant excavation/restoration, payment of county costs for work performed for the principal and the stated protection against incomplete or defective materials and workmanship.
- Who needs it
- The principal excavating or about to excavate the public place identified by the county request. The obligee is the County of Bernalillo, New Mexico—not the City of Albuquerque or the State of New Mexico.
- Who it protects
- The county form's defective-work/material obligation runs three years from county acceptance. That period is not automatically the provider's initial term or an authorization to excavate without a permit.

Questions about this bond
Can I use Albuquerque's bond details?
Not without the county's instructions. This form names the County of Bernalillo and leaves the sum open; the city is a different recipient.
When does the three-year provision begin?
The county form measures the specified incomplete/defective material and workmanship period from county acceptance, not merely from the excavation finish date.
Where can I apply?
