Oswego, IL — Excavation / Street Opening Bond
Match the Village of Oswego's actual excavation or street-opening request before applying. Its utility ROW application lists a $25,000 minimum bond or letter of credit, but that utility-specific document does not establish the security for every non-utility excavation.

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 $25,000 utility minimum establish every excavation bond amount?
It is published in the utility ROW application. Confirm which request and accepted instrument apply to your actual excavation or street opening, especially non-utility work.
Does the registration field mean I need a contractor-license bond?
The Village's current permit page says contractor registration is no longer required, although contractor details and applicable State licenses remain necessary. Confirm the separate work-security request rather than inferring a licensing bond.
Does the one-month restoration deadline cancel the bond?
The utility provisions measure that weather-permitting work deadline from initial excavation. They do not establish the offered bond's term or automatic release.
