Duluth, MN — Street Obstruction/Excavation Bond

Duluth Engineering names $10,000 surety plus separate liability insurance for excavation or obstruction permits. Its selected corporate-surety form covers public-ground restoration and related utility connections. Confirm the current insurance and actual coverage dates: the selected form and insurance guide give different liability figures, and a two-week excavation permit is not a two-week bond.

What this bond does

City of Duluth, Minnesota security for the actual Engineering excavation/obstruction permit; inconsistent published insurance instructions remain factual-check-pending.

Who needs it
The actual permit applicant, authorized agent or contractor named in the City's public-street/sidewalk/other-public-ground request.
Who it protects
The selected instrument addresses restoration to prior condition, compliant permit work including utility connections, and stated City indemnity. It does not issue a permit or replace liability coverage.

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.

Match the actual obstruction or excavation request

The current Engineering page includes excavation and obstruction in streets, sidewalks, alleys and public grounds, and selects its corporate-surety bond. Examples of obstruction include scaffolding, roll-off boxes and construction vehicles/materials; special-event obstruction has a separate route.

The selected form names City of Duluth, the actual principal and authorized corporate surety, with the sum and execution date completed for the request. It states at least $10,000 and includes work incidental to private sewer, water or gas connections to City mains.

Engineering's page requires road-closure applications at least five business days ahead. It describes excavation permits issued for two weeks with continuing trench-maintenance responsibility. Obtain the actual security period rather than using that permit window as the offered term.

Resolve insurance and obtain approved security before work

The selected bond recites higher bodily-injury/property-damage insurance figures than the separately linked Engineering guide. Confirm the City's current required coverage and endorsements instead of choosing either set without review. Both documents address City additional-insured treatment, and the form requires City Attorney approval.

The Engineering guide describes annual $10,000 street-obstruction security or $20,000 combined obstruction/wrecker's security. This RLI option supplies no fixed amount or term; match the City's actual instrument and coverage with the issuer rather than assuming those alternatives are supplied here.

Purchase Now opens RLI. Arrange actual signatures/acknowledgments, accepted Engineering filing and form approval, keep separate insurance current and obtain the actual permit. The selected form's thirty-day written cancellation notice is not proof that earlier restoration duties disappear; obtain actual continuation and release instructions.

Questions about this bond

Is a two-week excavation permit the bond term?

No. Engineering describes that permit period and continuing trench responsibility separately. This option supplies no fixed term; confirm actual security coverage.

Which liability figures should I use?

The selected bond and linked insurance guide differ. Ask Engineering for the current coverage and endorsements accepted for your actual permit.

Does every street obstruction use the same permit route?

The page distinguishes Engineering construction obstruction from special-event obstruction and other activity routes. Identify the actual work and recipient.
