What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Bloomington requires a street cut (right-of-way excavation) permit before anyone cuts, bores under, or excavates in a city street or right-of-way. The $20,000 bond is a condition of that permit: it guarantees you'll restore the pavement and right-of-way to city standards and stand behind the patch for the warranty period.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Bloomington (the obligee). If you leave a cut unrestored, a patch fails, or you damage city infrastructure, the city can recover its repair costs against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the city, you repay the surety. Contractors who backfill, compact, and repave to spec treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.
