What this bond does
Collinsville's published ROW/excavation application includes a bond approval item and a restoration-based security calculation. It identifies work and surfaces to be restored rather than establishing a single bond sum for every excavation.
- Who needs it
- The owner, authorized agent, contractor or other applicant identified in the city's ROW/excavation request. Confirm which legal party must be the bond principal for your work.
- Who it protects
- This concerns security for the excavation/ROW permit obligation. The city's application treats commercial general liability insurance with the city additionally insured as a separate requirement; the bond is not a substitute for that insurance.

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.

Questions about this bond
Does a grading permit use the same bond automatically?
No. Collinsville lists minor grading, major grading and ROW permits separately. Match the bond request to the actual excavation/ROW permit rather than assuming all site work uses this instrument.
Does the application state a standard annual bond term?
The reviewed permit application does not establish one. Obtain the city's current bond form and effective-period instructions before finalizing the document.
How do I proceed with the bond?
