What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Adams County controls its roads and right-of-way, and conditions a street-cut or excavation permit on a surety bond. The bond is a restoration-and-compliance guarantee: it stands behind your promise to backfill, repave, and restore the county's pavement to its standards after you've opened it.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Adams County (the obligee). If you leave a cut unrestored or your work fails and the county has to fix it, Adams County can recover its costs against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the county, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore their cuts cleanly treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $5,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with your permit. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your Adams County Public Works street-cut or right-of-way permit. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $5,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
