About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the Milford blanket excavation bond covers

A blanket excavation right-of-way bond is a restoration guarantee to the City of Milford that covers every excavation permit you pull during the term — instead of a separate bond per dig. It backs your promise to backfill, compact, and restore any City street, curb, or right-of-way you open.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Milford (the obligee). If you fail to restore the right-of-way or leave a defective patch, the City can recover the cost against the bond.

The City of Milford sets the bond amount on its blanket excavation permit packet. The premium is priced by that amount — 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum — so one bond covers your right-of-way work for the term.

City of Milford — blanket excavation / right-of-way permitThe City of Milford requires a blanket excavation right-of-way permit bond as a condition of digging in its streets and right-of-way; the bond amount and restoration terms are set by the City through its Public Works function. Confirm the current amount on your permit packet before filing.
