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.
