Marion, OH — Excavation Permit Bond
Marion's published excavation code allows an approved bond in place of an application cash deposit. Its purpose is restoring the affected public surface to the City Engineer's satisfaction—not providing a contractor with general liability coverage.

What this bond does
Chapter 901.06 conditions the security on restoring the street, alley, boulevard or public place to its original condition. If the applicant fails, the City Engineer may make the restoration and use the security for those expenses. Separate liability-insurance certificates are required by the published section.
- Who needs it
- The applicant seeking the City Engineer's excavation permission. Chapter 901 addresses public ROW excavations and also sewer excavations on private property; it does not make all private earthwork the same request.
- Who it protects
- The approved bond can cover multiple applications during the year while in force. That language does not grant permits automatically or establish this provider option's dates. Section 901.08 separately addresses permanent-pavement deposits for nonfranchised parties, so do not assume the application-bond alternative removes every security requirement.

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
Can an approved bond support more than one application?
The published section allows it for applications during the year while the bond remains in force. Each required permit and the accepted instrument's dates still matter.
Does every utility or city contractor avoid security?
No. The published exception depends on a contract/franchise fully covering the specified excavation and replacement methods, and still requires City Engineer permission.
