What this bond does
The form secures the duties under the Durham City/County Sedimentation and Erosion Ordinance and the permit issued under it, including authorized modifications. It concerns the site's erosion-control obligation, not a contractor's general licensing or every contract on the development.
- Who needs it
- The financially responsible party identified in the county request. The bond names the County of Durham, through its engineering department and Sedimentation and Erosion Control Officer, as obligee; the shared ordinance name does not change that recipient to the city.
- Who it protects
- On a declared default, the reviewed form calls for remedy or compliance/completion arrangements within its terms and bond limit. Terminating or changing a third-party land-disturbing services contract does not release the principal or surety from this performance 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.

Questions about this bond
Is the excavation contractor automatically the principal?
No. The county form identifies the principal as the financially responsible party. Match the actual request even if another business performs the land-disturbing work.
Does ending the earthmoving contract release this bond?
The reviewed form expressly says termination or modification of a third-party land-disturbing services contract does not relieve the principal and surety of their bond obligations.
