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. We issue that amount at a flat 3% with no credit check, 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.
