What this bond does
The permit security concerns filling excavations and restoring the highway for work in a city roadway or right-of-way. The packet lists the permit bond separately from insurance and a hold-harmless/indemnification agreement.
- Who needs it
- The applicant required to file security with Middletown Public Works. Identify the actual excavation applicant/contractor and requested city recipient wording; a private-site grading request is not the same permission.
- Who it protects
- The published requirement is $10,000 for five minor excavations limited to utility lateral connections. For a utility extension into an existing accepted city road, the Public Works Director or designee sets the bond based on estimated excavation. Do not use $10,000 as a universal amount.

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 $10,000 apply to every excavation?
The packet limits that amount to five minor utility-lateral excavations. Utility extensions into accepted city roads have amounts set by Public Works from estimated excavation.
Can the minor-excavation bond end before its printed expiry?
The packet says it ends at the printed date or completion of five minor excavations, whichever comes first. Confirm the remaining count and required continuing security.
