What it is and who needs it.
What the Plymouth excavating bond guarantees
Before you excavate in or open a town road in Plymouth — for a utility tie-in, a driveway, a drainage connection, or any work that disturbs the public way — the Town of Plymouth requires a $5,000 surety bond as a condition of the excavating permit.
The bond runs to the Town of Plymouth as obligee. It guarantees that you complete the work to the town’s specifications and restore the road and right-of-way so the town is left whole. If you abandon a trench or leave a failed patch, the town can recover its restoration cost against the bond up to the $5,000 penal sum.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the town, you repay the surety. Contractors who backfill, compact, and repave to spec treat this as a permit formality. We issue the town-required $5,000 amount at $100, and no credit check.

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.
