What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Wayne County controls the roads and rights-of-way in the unincorporated county, and conditions excavation in them on a registered, bonded excavation contractor. The $20,000 bond is filed with the County before you cut, bore, or open a county road.
The bond is a restoration-and-compliance guarantee: it stands behind your obligation to backfill, compact, and restore the county road and right-of-way to standard and to follow the permit conditions. If an excavation you made fails or is left unrestored, the County can use the bond to make the repair.
It is not insurance for you — if the County makes a valid claim and the surety pays, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore their excavations to standard treat the bond as a routine cost of county work.
