What it is and who needs it.
What the excavation permit bond actually guarantees
An excavation permit bond is a restoration guarantee. The Village of Bradley requires a permit before anyone digs in a public street, sidewalk, or right-of-way, and Building Services conditions that permit on a surety bond that backs the promise to properly backfill, compact, and restore the surface once the work is done.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Bradley (the obligee). If an excavation is left improperly backfilled, the pavement or sidewalk is damaged, or the Village has to complete the restoration itself, it can draw on the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
There is no single villagewide penal sum — Building Services sets the amount on each permit based on the scope and location of the dig. Enter the figure your permit shows; your premium is priced from a $100 minimum. No credit check up to $10,000.

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 Village. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to attach to your excavation permit application at the Building Services counter. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
