About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

An excavator bond is a compliance guarantee to the Town of Fairfield. Before you dig, trench, or do excavation work in town, Fairfield wants a financial backstop that you'll follow the Town's excavation rules and restore any disturbed property.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the Town of Fairfield (the obligee). If you damage town property or violate the excavation terms and don't put it right, the Town can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Excavators who follow the Town's rules and restore the site treat the bond as a registration formality, not a risk.
