What this bond does
This offering concerns the excavation promise in the required Salt Lake City document. Match the work location, permit reference and any specified backfill, repair or restoration duties rather than assuming the title covers every excavation in the wider county.
- Who needs it
- The applicant required to furnish the city excavation security. Use the principal's legal name from the request rather than automatically naming the owner or a utility contractor.
- Who it protects
- The bond supports the written undertaking to its named recipient. It is not liability insurance and does not itself authorize excavation, approve a utility connection or waive a street-opening restriction.

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
Will the bond lift a street-opening restriction?
No. Security and permission to perform the work are separate. Use the authority's current instructions for any restriction or exception.
Can a Salt Lake County form be used for a city request?
Do not assume acceptance. Match the actual city recipient, undertaking and required document.
