What it is and who needs it.
What the excavation bond actually guarantees
When a contractor opens a trench or bores under a Florissant street, the City of Florissant wants the public right-of-way restored to its prior condition. It conditions an excavation permit on a $2,000 surety bond standing behind that restoration.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Florissant (the obligee). If you leave pavement, curb, or surface in the right-of-way unrestored, the city can use the bond to pay for the repairs and recover its costs.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who backfill and patch their cuts treat the bond as a permit formality.

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 $2,000 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; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.

What sets the price
