What it is and who needs it.
What the Marion excavation bond guarantees
The City of Marion controls its public right-of-way — the streets, alleys, and easements where utilities run. Before a contractor excavates in that right-of-way under a permit, the city conditions the permit on a $5,000 surety bond.
The bond runs to the City of Marion as obligee and guarantees that you backfill and restore the excavation to city standards and follow your permit conditions. If you leave a trench or street patch that fails, the city can recover its repair cost against the bond.
It is not insurance for you: if the surety pays the city, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore the right-of-way cleanly treat it as a permit formality. We track the filing and notify you 60 and 30 days out.
