About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the street excavator bond guarantees

The Town of Windsor licenses street excavators who open or excavate in town streets and conditions the license on a $10,000 surety bond. Before any utility tie-in, road opening, or trench in the public way, the excavator must hold the bond.

The bond runs to the Town of Windsor as obligee. It guarantees you complete the work to the town’s specifications and restore the street 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 $10,000 penal sum.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the town, you repay the surety. Excavators who backfill, compact, and repave to spec treat this as a license formality. We issue the town-required $10,000 amount at $100, and no credit check.

Town of Windsor — Street Excavator LicenseThe Town of Windsor requires this bond as a condition of its street excavator license / road opening permit; the $10,000 bond amount and restoration terms are set by the Town of Windsor. We issue the town-required $10,000 amount at $100.

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 $10,000 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.

How to file it

File with the Town of Windsor. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your Windsor street excavator license. Wet-ink original mailed on request.

What sets the price

The premium is fixed at $100 at the $10,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
