What is this bond?

A street excavation bond is a type of surety bond required by municipalities before contractors can dig into or alter public roadways. It guarantees that the contractor will properly restore the street, sidewalk, or right-of-way to its original condition after the excavation work is completed.

Who needs it?

Contractors, plumbers, and utility companies performing work that involves cutting, tunneling, or excavating within the public right-of-way in the City of Bridgeport typically need this bond. Anyone applying for a street excavation or right-of-way permit will generally be asked to provide it.

Why is it required?

The City of Bridgeport requires this bond to protect the public infrastructure and taxpayers from substandard workmanship or abandoned excavation projects. If a contractor damages public property and fails to repair it, the bond provides financial recourse to cover the city's restoration costs.
