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 plus a $25 fee, $125 minimum — so one bond covers your right-of-way work for the term.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with Milford. Submit the executed bond with your blanket excavation permit application to the City of Milford. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the City insists on them.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount plus a $25 fee, $125 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $100,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
