What this bond does

Helps an applicant identify the Village's excavation security and avoid treating a sidewalk installation as automatically bonded.

Who needs it
Permit applicants opening or excavating public ways or Village-owned easements in West Salem, Wisconsin.
Who it protects
The excavation bond favors the Village for applicant-liable damage, safe filling, pavement restoration and maintenance, village-performed repair costs and compliance with the applicable permit rules.

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.

Check what work actually needs security

Section 5.05 applies to openings/excavations in streets, alleys, ditches, sidewalks, other listed public areas and Village-owned easements. It requires a Village Administrator permit with Public Works Director approval.

The bond provision states that bonds are individual to each excavation project and that no bond is required for sidewalk installations. If the job is sidewalk installation rather than the bonded excavation described, clarify the distinction with the Village before ordering; this catalog title does not override the exception.

Arrange the project Indemnity Bond

The section specifies a $6,000 Indemnity Bond in favor of the Village before excavation, with approved insurance and an initial reference to the permitted cash-security alternative. Obtain the actual requested form and principal/project wording before using the existing Propeller destination.

The seven-year maintenance provision runs after final completion of the repair. It is different from the ordinary 90-day permit validity. The section also requires repairs by the first November 15 following initial excavation; confirm the actual work/repair plan rather than starting a seven-year clock at purchase.

Obtain approval and arrange restoration checks

Have the provider confirm this option matches the Village's requested project instrument, then submit executed security and required insurance for acceptance. Obtain the approved work permit separately; bond issuance is not permission to dig.

The section requires Public Works notice at least one business day before work and at least four hours before backfilling/surface restoration, with additional police/fire notices for fully blocked streets. Coordinate actual inspections and long-term restoration acceptance, and confirm release rather than assuming the permit's end ends security.

Sources

Have these ready

  1. Confirm Village authority and whether the job is excavation or the sidewalk-installation exception.
  2. Obtain the requested project-specific $6,000 instrument and named principal/recipient.
  3. Confirm permit timing, repair deadline and seven-year post-repair maintenance provision.
  4. File executed security/insurance, obtain approval and arrange required notices, inspection and release.

Questions about this bond

Does every sidewalk job require this bond?

No. Section 5.05 expressly says no bond is required for sidewalk installations. Ask the Village how the actual excavation or installation is classified before ordering.

Is this an annual blanket excavation bond?

The cited provision calls for $6,000 bonds filed individually for each excavation project. Do not assume this offering supplies blanket coverage.

When does seven-year maintenance begin?

The section measures it after final completion of the repair, not purchase. Its ordinary 90-day permit validity is a separate period.
