What it is and who needs it.
What the excavation bond covers
An excavation permit bond is a restoration guarantee. When you cut into a Sandy City street or right-of-way, the city wants assurance that the road, curb, or sidewalk will be restored to specification — and that it can recover the cost if you don't.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Sandy City (the obligee). If the work is incomplete, defective, or damages public property you don't repair, Sandy City can claim against the bond to cover restoration.
We issue the amount Sandy City set, starting from $100 with no credit check up to $100,000 in the application, ready to file with your road-cut permit. Sandy City requires the bond uniformly as a condition of the excavation permit.

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 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.
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
File with Sandy City. Submit the executed bond with your Sandy City excavation / road-cut permit application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the city insists on them.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $100,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
