What it is and who needs it.
What the Edina excavation bond guarantees
The City of Edina manages its streets and public easements, and conditions any excavation in them on a permit backed by a $5,000 surety bond. Whenever you open pavement, trench across a boulevard, or dig within a public easement, the City wants a financial backstop before it issues the permit.
The bond is a restoration-and-compliance guarantee running to the City of Edina: it stands behind your obligation to restore the street, surface, and easement you disturb to City standards and to follow the permit conditions. If you leave the right of way damaged, the City can recover its repair costs against the bond.
It's a three-party arrangement — you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Edina (the obligee). It is not insurance for you: if the surety pays the City, you repay the surety.
