What this bond does
The described permit concerns cutting, digging or excavation in the right-of-way for utilities, connections, repairs and other work. It requires an application and drawing for city review before permit issuance.
- Who needs it
- The applicant or other principal specified in the city's right-of-way excavation security request. A private-site contractor's name or land-disturbance permit does not establish the correct applicant or form for this separate request.
- Who it protects
- This is right-of-way excavation permit security. The city summary lists surety and insurance separately, and does not print the bond's complete restoration, indemnity, term or release clauses. Do not promise a particular warranty period from that summary.

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
Is a land-disturbance bond the same request?
The summary treats land disturbance and right-of-way excavation separately. Use the street-work surety request rather than substituting erosion-control security.
Does the bond replace insurance?
No. The city summary calls for both surety and proof of insurance. The accepted documents must satisfy their separate requirements.
