What this bond does

The published requirements state $20,000 for unlimited street excavations for one calendar year. The attached bond runs to Bountiful City and addresses underground-facility damage, protective measures, restoration, workmanlike repair/warranty and specified excavation/backfill duties.

Who needs it
The licensed contractor performing the covered public-street work and named as principal. The sheet separately specifies S-260 or E-100 classification for new/replacement concrete street improvements; that concrete-work rule should not be applied indiscriminately to every private-site grading request.
Who it protects
The form warrants work for one year following completion and separately states a bond term of at least 12 months covering cuts in the bonding period. Those periods are not necessarily identical, and neither means permit issuance or finishing a trench automatically releases all obligations.

Your bond option

This is the option on record for this bond.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Coordinate calendar-year work, bond dates and completion warranty

The requirements describe a calendar-year excavation allowance and a bond effective for one year or more from issue; the form has beginning/end dates and a post-completion workmanship warranty. Obtain the city's accepted dates and continuation instructions, particularly for a bond starting late in the year.

The bond is filed with the City Engineer before covered excavation. Its duties include checking underground facilities, restoring affected improvements, specification-compliant backfill and at least four hours' notice to the City Engineer before backfilling. That job-site notice is not an issuance deadline. Required liability insurance and the excavation permit are separate.

Questions about this bond

Does a late-year bond automatically end December 31?

Do not assume that. The sheet describes calendar-year work while requiring at least one year from issue, and the form requires at least 12 months. Obtain the city's accepted beginning/end dates.

Is the workmanship warranty just the bond's printed term?

The form states a one-year warranty following work completion separately from its bonding period. Confirm how the accepted security dates and ongoing obligations apply to the actual work.
