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.

Use the current application and assigned security

The Town's forms page selects the September 2025 Street (Right of Way) Opening Application. It asks for the address, reason, proposed dates, Dig Safe number and a drawing showing the work's extent. It also records who paid the bond and who will receive any release, so identify that party rather than assuming it is always the contractor.

The Town-use area records the surety amount and check or bond number. The conditions require execution and delivery to the Town, care of its Treasurer, of the bond in the amount, form and with the sureties required by the DPW Director. Have DPW identify whether your request involves an accepted surety, a refundable deposit or both; a deposit refund is not a promise to refund a surety premium.

Permanent patching and deposit release have separate clocks

The selected application defers permanent trench patching and the specified overlay until one year after construction completion. Its refund provision separately uses 12 months after completion of permanent patching, with satisfactory completion, DPW approval and a request. Do not collapse these into automatic release one year after excavation or purchase; confirm the actual patching and closeout schedule with DPW.

Purchase Now opens Propeller. The option displays no fixed amount or term. Match the Town's required form, principal/recipient, assigned sum and dates with the issuer, arrange execution and accepted Treasurer/DPW filing, and obtain the approved permit. The permit's expiration and any extension are Town decisions, not supplied bond terms.

Check the five-year newly paved road moratorium and arrange the application's advance Engineering inspection notice before construction. Keep the permit on site and obtain the required permanent-repair approval and release directions. Buying security does not authorize opening or obstructing the way.

Questions about this bond

Is Wilmington's bond amount fixed on the application?

No. The Town-use fields leave the surety amount to be assigned. Obtain the Director's actual instrument and amount requirement before arranging issuance.

Is deposit release one year after the excavation?

The current form separately defers permanent patching for a year after construction and uses 12 months after permanent patching for requested, approved deposit refund. Have DPW confirm both dates; neither is a displayed bond term.

Does paying for a bond authorize the street opening?

No. Arrange the Town-required executed filing and obtain its approved permit, work dates and inspection directions. Security purchase is a separate step.
