What it is and who needs it.
What the excavation permit bond actually covers
A street excavation permit bond is a right-of-way restoration guarantee. When you open a Washington Township road to lay a utility line, tap a main, or run a service connection, the Township wants a financial backstop that you'll backfill and restore the pavement to its standard and not leave a hazard behind.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Washington Township (the obligee). If you fail to restore the cut, damage Township infrastructure, or leave the road below standard, the Township can recover its repair cost against the bond.
The Township sets the amount on the permit — usually tied to the size of the opening and the cost to restore it. We issue that amount at a flat 3% with no credit check, ready to file with your permit application.
