What is this bond?

The City of Yakima Street Excavation Bond is a right-of-way surety bond that guarantees a contractor will properly restore public roads and sidewalks after digging or trenching. It protects the local government and the public from defective workmanship, incomplete repairs, or abandoned projects involving city infrastructure.

Who needs it?

Contractors, utility companies, and construction professionals performing excavation, trenching, or roadwork within the City of Yakima's public right-of-way typically need this bond. It is generally required prior to the city issuing the necessary street-cut or excavation permits.

Why is it required?

The City of Yakima requires this bond to ensure contractors follow all municipal standards when altering public rights-of-way. It provides a financial guarantee that the city will be compensated if it has to repair incomplete or improper street restorations. Because local ordinances and requirements vary, always verify the specific terms with the issuing agency.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • ⚠Failing to verify the exact required bond amount with the City of Yakima before applying.
  • ⚠Allowing the bond to expire before the city has fully inspected and approved the street restoration.
  • ⚠Assuming the surety bond acts as general liability insurance, when it actually protects the city rather than the contractor.
