What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Torrington licenses excavators who work in its public streets and rights-of-way, administered through its Department of Public Works. The license is conditioned on a $5,000 surety bond standing behind the excavator’s compliance with the City’s right-of-way rules.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Torrington (the obligee). The bond guarantees that an excavator licensed by the City will restore the streets and surfaces it opens to the City’s specification, so Torrington is not left paying to fix work left undone.
It is not insurance for you — if the City makes a valid claim and the surety pays, you repay the surety. The bond must stay active for the life of your excavator license, so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out.
