What this bond does
This offering identifies Bridgeport street-excavation security. Keep the contractor prerequisite, actual excavation permit, and related sewer/plumbing approvals distinct.
- Who needs it
- Contractors furnishing the security accepted for Bridgeport street-excavation work.
- Who it protects
- The city-accepted bond form determines the recipient and secured duties. The official permit guide confirms the bonding prerequisite and work/restoration process, but exact instrument conditions still need confirmation.

Questions about this bond
Can an unlicensed owner apply just by buying this bond?
Bridgeport's guide limits excavation applications to contractors licensed and bonded with the city and requires current documents. Buying security alone does not establish that eligibility.
Does sewer work need anything besides excavation security?
The guide requires a WPCA sewer permit and, for work on property and in ROW together, an approved plumbing permit with the excavation application.
Does same-day bond issuance mean a same-day permit?
No. The city says excavation permits are not available the same day. Its review, related approvals, and inspections remain separate.
