What this bond does
The $10,000 city form addresses ordinance compliance, workmanlike work, safeguarding street ditches/excavations, restoring affected streets and maintaining restored portions safely for one year after restoration. It also contains city-defense/indemnity and specified injury/damage obligations.
- Who needs it
- The legal excavation contractor/principal engaging in the business identified on the accepted city form. Select the relevant classification; the form's separate plumber, sewer/septic and other business labels do not automatically authorize those trades for an excavator.
- Who it protects
- The City of Mountain Brook is the named obligee, and the form also permits an injured person, firm or corporation to sue for the stated breaches. This is not a liability policy or a guarantee that every claim of any kind is covered.

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
What does the one-year language measure?
It concerns safe maintenance of the restored street portion for one year from restoration, not a universal one-year bond expiry.
Does cancellation erase earlier liability?
The form's 30-day City Clerk receipt clause expressly excepts liability accruing before cancellation becomes effective.
