About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the Southington excavation bond covers

An excavation bond is a guarantee to the Town of Southington that when you excavate within a town road or public way, you will restore it to the Town’s standard and follow the conditions of your permit.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Town of Southington (the obligee). If the road or public way is left unrestored or damaged and you do not make it right, the Town can recover its repair costs against the bond.

The bond amount is set by the Town — typically by the Southington Public Works / Engineering department based on the scope of the work. The premium runs 0.5% of that amount, $100 minimum. No credit check up to $100,000, and most applications approve instantly.

After you buy

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 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.

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 the Town of Southington. Submit the executed bond with your excavation permit application. Wet-ink originals mailed if the Town insists.

What sets the price

The premium is 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.

No credit check up to $100,000.

One application, issued on the spot.

Submit the application with the bond amount the Town of Southington set — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file.
