What this bond does
The packet's Excavation Contractor bond concerns authorized opening or alteration of town streets/highways, compliance with town requirements and indemnity for the specified work-related losses. It is not security for every private-site excavation.
- Who needs it
- The applicant or contractor actually performing the work, as required by the packet's contractor notice. The bond names the Town of Wallingford as recipient and leaves its commencement date to be filled.
- Who it protects
- The bond and insurance are separate requirements. The published minimum is $5,000, with an area-based schedule and authority for Engineering to require more. Do not assume the smallest amount suits every trench.
