What this bond does
The Engineering Department's licensing instructions connect the security to work within the public right of way. They describe a guarantee of the contractor's work and allow certain temporary-pavement repair costs to be charged against the permit holder's account and/or license bond.
- Who needs it
- Contractors applying for Southington's license to work in public rights of way. A licensed contractor must separately obtain an excavation permit for each project.
- Who it protects
- The town requires the license security separately from the insurance certificate, project permit and trench-repair cash deposit. Purchasing this bond does not replace those requirements or provide liability insurance.

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 this bond replace the trench-repair deposit?
No. The licensing notice describes a separate cash deposit for project permits in addition to license security. Follow the town's current request; a bond application does not establish a deposit credit or refund.
Can another contractor use my excavation license?
The notice says licenses are not transferable and the licensed contractor must supervise work issued under that license. Use the correct applicant rather than another company's license or security.
How do I start the bond application?
Purchase Now opens Propeller in a new tab. Check the principal, town recipient, accepted form, sum and dates. Issuance and filing are later steps; the Engineering Department must still issue the license and handle each project permit.
