What this bond does

Helps a repeat excavation applicant identify the City of Oshkosh annual license and required security before applying.

Who needs it
Contractors or other applicants arranging annual excavation licensing for multiple City of Oshkosh ROW projects.
Who it protects
The city describes the annual excavation bond as covering construction under permits issued within the license issuance period. The accepted instrument defines the specific undertaking.

Your bond option

This is the option on record for this bond.

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.

Choose annual excavation, not the single-site route

The city describes annual excavation licensing for numerous ROW permits at multiple locations, without the site-specific construction-envelope limit. Its site-specific license instead covers one permit and a maximum disturbance of 200 continuous feet.

Identify the actual City of Oshkosh authority. The Town of Oshkosh is a different government; its road-excavation form does not establish city annual-bond requirements.

Confirm the annual form and dates

This Propeller option is recorded as one year. The city's description uses a calendar-year license and coverage tied to permits issued during that license period. Confirm the actual effective/expiration dates, required amount and whether continuation is needed for earlier work; do not assume a new purchase grants twelve months of city licensing.

Obtain the current annual excavation packet and accepted instrument from Public Works. The linked document viewer did not provide readable instrument text during this review, so exact amount, cancellation and closeout provisions remain unverified.

File the security and obtain each work permit

Confirm the form with the provider before using the existing application. Submit the executed security for city acceptance and complete annual licensing, then obtain the applicable ROW permit for each work location.

An annual license is not permission to excavate everywhere. Follow each permit's plans, traffic control, inspection and restoration directions, and confirm how outstanding obligations affect renewal or release.

Sources

Have these ready

  1. Identify the City rather than Town of Oshkosh and the planned multiple-location excavation work.
  2. Request the annual excavation instrument, required amount and city license dates.
  3. Reconcile the offered one-year period with the city's actual calendar-year coverage.
  4. Arrange executed filing, annual license acceptance, individual permits and closeout/continuation.

Questions about this bond

Does the 200-foot site limit apply to annual excavation licensing?

The city attaches that maximum to its site-specific, single-permit license. It says the annual excavation license does not restrict the construction envelope for an individual site.

Can an obstruction license cover excavation?

The city describes annual obstruction licensing for activity requiring no excavation. Obtain the excavation license and security applicable to digging.

Does the one-year option establish a city renewal deadline?

No. Confirm the actual calendar-year license and bond dates with Public Works; no renewal deadline or cancellation rule is independently verified here.
