Before excavating in a public street, sidewalk, or right-of-way inside the Village of Bradley, the Village's Building Services division conditions the excavation permit on a surety bond sized to the scope of the work. Premiums cost 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum. Enter the amount your permit calls for and your exact price appears at the application.
















The bond itself is a short, standard-form obligation. Enter your amount, consent to a soft pull, and file with the Village. Here is the whole thing:
Your details, the excavation location, the bond amount Building Services confirmed, and the effective date — plus a one-time consent to a soft credit pull.
Most excavation permit bonds clear quickly on the soft pull, which never affects your score — pricing is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum.
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.
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 after a quick soft credit check that never affects your score.
These are the actual underwriting fields, including a one-time consent to a soft credit pull. The pull never affects your score, and your price — from a $100 minimum — is set at application.
