About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

An excavation right-of-way bond is a public-property protection guarantee. The City of Colwich, KS conditions an excavation permit on a $5,000 surety bond, so that when you open a street or dig in the public way, the city has a financial backstop that you will backfill, restore the pavement, and follow the permit conditions.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Colwich (the obligee). If a permittee leaves a defective patch, fails to restore an excavation, or damages public infrastructure, the city can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore their excavations properly treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.

City of Colwich, KS — Public Works / Right-of-WayThe City of Colwich, KS requires this $5,000 bond as a condition of its excavation right-of-way permit; the bond amount and terms are set by the City of Colwich and its Public Works department. We have not cited a specific ordinance number because the governing municipal code section was not verifiable at publication — confirm the requirement with the City of Colwich.
