What is this bond?

A City of Greenwood Excavation Permit Bond is a financial guarantee required for contractors performing digging or trenching work within the city limits. It guarantees that the contractor will properly restore streets, sidewalks, and public rights-of-way after completing their excavation project. This protects the city from bearing the costs of repairing public property if the contractor fails to meet local standards.

Who needs it?

Contractors, utility companies, and construction professionals planning to excavate or trench within the public right-of-way in Greenwood, Indiana, typically need this bond. If your project involves breaking ground on city-owned streets or sidewalks, you will likely need to secure this permit and bond before starting work.

Why is it required?

The City of Greenwood requires this bond to ensure public infrastructure remains safe and well-maintained during and after private construction projects. It provides the city with a financial mechanism to hire replacement crews for street repair if a contractor abandons the project or does substandard restoration work. Exact bonding requirements vary, so contractors should verify specific details directly with the local issuing agency.
