What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A street obstruction and excavation bond is a restoration and compliance guarantee. When you open or block an East Ridge street, the City wants assurance that you'll backfill, repave, and restore the street to City standards — and that the public is protected while the work is open.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of East Ridge (the obligee). If you abandon a cut, leave a hazard, or fail to restore the surface, the City can recover its repair costs against the bond.
The bond stays in force for the term of your permit. We track the dates and notify you 60 and 30 days out so an annual or multi-job permit never lapses on you.

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 $25,000 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.
How to file it
