What this bond does
The reviewed city form names the City of Colorado Springs as obligee and states a $5,000 penal sum. It addresses observing the licensed-business provisions, adjudged fines/penalties/costs, properly backfilling and maintaining excavations for one year, and paying city-billed permanent resurfacing and related restoration charges.
- Who needs it
- The legal excavating business applying for the city license, named as principal. Match the city's current license-bond form and business identity rather than substituting a public-project performance/payment instrument.
- Who it protects
- The one-year excavation-maintenance undertaking is not the same as an automatically expiring one-year bond. The form ties the term to the license, continues through renewals and preserves accrued liability after cancellation.

Questions about this bond
Does the one-year maintenance duty mean the bond ends after one year?
No. The reviewed form separately makes the license bond continuing through renewals, subject to its cancellation provisions. Maintenance and the continuing term are different conditions.
Does the form specify a 30-day cancellation notice?
It requires prior written notice to the designated city licensing officer but does not state a fixed number of notice days. Follow the accepted form rather than adding an assumed period.
