What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City and County of Denver requires a permit to excavate or cut into the public right-of-way, and conditions that permit on a surety bond. The bond is a restoration guarantee: it stands behind your backfilling, patching, and restoring the street or right-of-way you open, to Denver's standards.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City and County of Denver (the obligee). If an excavation is left unrestored, settles, or fails, Denver can recover against the bond to make the repairs.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Restore your cuts cleanly and the bond is a permit formality. We issue the amount Denver set, pricing from $100.
