About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the Coventry excavation bond covers

The Town of Coventry conditions any street or sidewalk opening on a surety bond filed with the town. The bond guarantees that a contractor who cuts or trenches a public road backfills, repaves, and restores the surface to town standards once the work is done.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the Town of Coventry (the obligee). If a trench settles or the pavement is left unrestored, the town can recover its repair costs against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the town, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore the road treat the bond as a permit formality. We issue the amount the town sets at a flat 3% with no credit check.
