What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A street excavation bond is a restoration guarantee to the city. When you open a Mishawaka street or right-of-way, the bond promises you'll backfill, compact, and repave the cut to city standard — and that the city won't be left paying to fix a failed trench.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Mishawaka, Indiana (the obligee). If the excavation fails or the restoration isn't completed, the city can claim against the bond.
The bond stays in force for the term of your permit work. We track expirations and send renewal notices ahead of any deadline so your permits don't lapse mid-project.
