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.
