What this bond does

Secure covered county-road excavation duties under Spartanburg County’s permit, Ordinance 173 and the referenced state law.

Who needs it
Excavation applicants and contractors with a county-approved street opening or crossing.
Who it protects
The attached bond addresses observing the permit and law, properly executing/protecting work and paying covered property loss or damage from a breach. The county is the recipient; this is not the city street-permit form.

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 that an open cut is authorized

The county specifications favor boring/jacking for crossings. Where an open cut is requested, they call for written justification explaining why it is necessary and what measures were tried to avoid it.

Provide the road, nearest intersection, utility/facility, dimensions and plans or sketch. Purchase of an excavation bond does not approve an opening method that the county has not accepted.

Keep security and repair duties distinct

The packet requires $5,000 security to remain in force for three years after completion, not merely until the opening is patched. Confirm effective dates and accepted execution with Roads and Bridges.

The specifications separately say road-cut repair obligations continue while the installed facility exists. Do not assume the stated security period eliminates every continuing repair or relocation obligation.

File the executed instrument before work

Have the provider compare the county bond condition, applicant, sum, permit and dates before purchase. File accepted security with Roads and Bridges and obtain the approved permit/plans.

The packet requires notice before commencement and immediately upon completion. Follow its restoration and inspection instructions; neither issuance nor visible patching independently establishes acceptance or discharge.

Questions about this bond

Does buying allow me to open-cut the road?

No. The county requires approval of the method and written justification where open cutting is requested.

Does patching immediately end security?

No. The packet requires the bond to remain in force for three years after work is completed.

Do all road-cut duties end after three years?

Do not assume so. The specifications separately retain repair obligations while the installed facility exists.
