What this bond does
This security belongs to the city's excavation-permit process, including driveway/sidewalk and other ROW work. The guide addresses finished-work quality, code compliance and protection of neighboring drainage; it is not a complete printed surety contract or a general land-disturbance bond.
- Who needs it
- The contractor/principal required by the city's accepted security request. The current page waives bond and insurance when the homeowner performs the work; contractor-performed work still needs the contractor's documents, even at a homeowner's property.
- Who it protects
- City, St. Louis County and state ROW permissions are not interchangeable. Florissant says it lacks excavation regulatory authority over county/state ROW or private property in this context. A city address alone does not settle the permit/bond path.

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
Does the homeowner exception apply when a contractor does the work?
The current page states the exception for work performed by the homeowner and requires contractor bond/insurance for contractor-performed work. Match the real work arrangement.
Is the 30-day cash waiting period the bond term?
No. It concerns a cash-release request after concrete placement. The separate permit's 30 days run from issuance; neither establishes complete surety cancellation/release terms.
