What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
An excavation bond is a public-property protection guarantee. When you dig in or near the Township's rights-of-way, the Township of Macomb wants a financial backstop that the work meets its specifications and that any damage to roads, sidewalks, drains, or utilities gets restored.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Township of Macomb (the obligee), with the public as the protected party. If excavation work damages public property or is left unrestored, the Township can recover against the bond.
The bond must stay active for as long as your excavation permit privileges run. Let it lapse and the Township can pull your permits — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $5,000 filing continuous.
