What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A City of Jamestown excavation permit bond is a right-of-way guarantee. Digging in city streets risks utilities and pavement — Jamestown wants a $25,000 financial backstop that you'll restore what you disturb and follow the city's excavation rules.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Jamestown (the obligee). If you damage city infrastructure or fail to restore the right-of-way, the City can recover against the bond up to $25,000.
The bond must stay active for the life of the permit. Let it lapse and the City can stop your excavation work — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $25,000 filing continuous.
