What this bond does

For applicants furnishing City of Shelton street-excavation security. Keep the security arrangement separate from the three-month work permit and City-managed permanent paving.

Who needs it
Permittees directed to provide accepted Shelton excavation security.
Who it protects
The City-accepted instrument determines the secured duties and remedies. The procedure separately requires temporary-pavement maintenance until settlement ceases and the City installs permanent pavement.

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.

Confirm surety acceptance and the work package

The posted July 2023 procedure lists a $10,000 minimum surety bond but allows cash or a letter of credit to be required instead. It also requires separate insurance, underground-conduit plans for utility mains rather than individual building services, and traffic-authority approval within the application for in-road excavation. Obtain the accepted form, principal, City recipient, sum, and dates.

Separate the permit clock from bond obligations

The procedure gives permits three months from issuance and separately requires Engineering notification and permission before backfilling. Its temporary-pavement duty lasts until the stated settlement/permanent-paving conditions, not a presumed bond end date. No fixed amount or term is displayed here. Purchase Now opens Propeller in a new tab; check and file the issued security, complete permit approval, and follow Engineering's inspection directions.

Questions about this bond

Is surety accepted for every request?

The procedure allows cash or a letter of credit to be required instead. Confirm the City's actual decision before using this surety offering.

Does the three-month permit duration set the bond term?

No fixed term is displayed. Permit validity, temporary-pavement maintenance, and the accepted security's duration are separate.

Do conduit plans apply to every individual building service?

The posted plan requirement is for utility mains, not individual building services. Give Engineering the actual activity and obtain its required package.
