What this bond does
The required Elkhart, Indiana document defines the excavation and any repair/restoration secured. Match that promise and its legal parties rather than treating every contractor's obligation at the site as one bond.
- Who needs it
- The contractor, permit applicant or other principal required to provide excavation security. The prime contractor, excavating subcontractor and property owner are distinct roles; the actual request determines the required party.
- Who it protects
- The accepted form gives its named recipient a defined surety promise. It is not liability insurance, an automatic extension of the prime contract bond or permission to excavate.

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.
