What it is and who needs it.
What the excavation bond guarantees
The City of Greenwood conditions an excavation permit on a $15,000 bond when you dig within the city right-of-way. The bond stands behind your promise to backfill, repave, and restore the right-of-way to city specifications after the excavation.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Greenwood (the obligee). If an excavation is left unrestored or the restoration fails, the city can recover against the bond to fix it.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the city, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore the right-of-way properly treat the bond as a permit formality, and we keep your $15,000 filing continuous.
