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 our $275 minimum, with no credit check.
