About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the street & utility bond covers

When you build, excavate, or install utilities in the public right of way in the City of Ephrata, the City conditions the permit on a surety bond. The bond is a public-protection guarantee that you will complete the work to City standards and restore the right of way safely.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Ephrata (the obligee). If you fail to complete or restore the work properly — or leave a hazard in the right of way — the City can recover its cost against the bond.

It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays the City, you repay the surety. Contractors who build and restore to City spec treat the bond as a permit formality. We issue the amount Ephrata set, from $100, with no credit fields in the application.
