What it is and who needs it.
What the excavation bond actually covers
When you excavate in the Town of Lempster, New Hampshire — opening a town road, trenching in the right-of-way, or other work the town permits — Lempster can require an excavation bond as a condition of the permit. The bond guarantees you complete the work and restore the site to the town's standard.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Town of Lempster (the obligee). If you leave the excavation unrestored or damage the road and don't repair it, the town can recover its costs against the bond, up to the amount the town set.
Because the town sizes the bond to the scope of work, there is no single statutory figure — the amount is whatever the Town of Lempster names on your permit. Enter that figure — premiums are 1% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum; no credit check up to $100,000. It is not insurance for you: if the surety pays the town, you repay the surety.

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.
