What is this bond?

The City of Missoula Excavation Permit Bond is a financial guarantee required for contractors performing digging or trenching work within the city's public right-of-ways. It ensures that the contractor completes the excavation project and properly restores streets, sidewalks, or other public property to their original condition. If the contractor fails to meet these obligations, the bond provides financial compensation to the city to cover repair costs.

Who needs it?

Contractors, utility companies, and construction professionals performing excavation work on public roads or right-of-ways in Missoula typically need this bond. It is generally required before the city will issue an official excavation or right-of-way permit for your project. You should always verify your specific permit and bonding requirements directly with the City of Missoula before beginning any work.

Why is it required?

The City of Missoula requires this bond to protect public infrastructure from damage caused by improper, incomplete, or abandoned excavation work. It guarantees that any disturbed public roadways, curbs, and sidewalks are safely repaired and restored to municipal standards. Ultimately, this bond transfers the financial risk of public property damage from the taxpayers to the contractor and their surety provider.
