What it is and who needs it.
What the excavation bond actually guarantees
An excavation permit bond is a restoration guarantee to the City of Marion. When you open the street, sidewalk, or right-of-way to dig, the city wants a financial backstop that you'll backfill, repave, and restore the surface to its standards.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Marion (the obligee). If you leave the right-of-way in worse shape than you found it, the city can recover its restoration cost against the bond.
The bond must stay active while your permit is open. We track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $2,000 filing continuous.

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.
