What is this bond?

The City of Bloomington Push or Bore Bond is a surety bond for contractors performing underground drilling, pushing, or boring work within city limits. It guarantees that the contractor will complete the work safely, properly restore the public right-of-way, and adhere to local guidelines. Specific requirements vary, so contractors should verify all details directly with the city.

Who needs it?

Utility installers, excavation contractors, and construction companies performing directional drilling or underground boring within the public rights-of-way of Bloomington, Indiana, typically need this bond. It is generally required before the local agency will issue the necessary excavation or right-of-way permits.

Why is it required?

The City of Bloomington requires this bond to protect public infrastructure, such as streets, sidewalks, and existing underground utilities, from damage during construction. It ensures financial recourse is available to the city to repair the site if the contractor fails to properly restore the area after the pushing or boring work is completed.
