Denver, CO - Excavation Permit — required surety bond in Colorado. Apply online in minutes.
A Denver Excavation Permit Bond is a local surety bond required for contractors performing digging or trenching work within the city's public right of way. It guarantees that the contractor will safely perform the excavation and properly restore affected streets, sidewalks, and alleys to their original condition.
Contractors, utility companies, and construction professionals planning to dig or trench in Denver's public spaces typically need this bond. If your project involves breaking ground on city-owned streets or sidewalks, the local permitting authority will likely require you to secure this coverage before issuing an excavation permit.
The City and County of Denver requires this bond to protect public infrastructure from improper construction practices or abandoned projects. It provides a financial guarantee that if a contractor damages public property and fails to repair it, funds are available to cover the city's restoration costs. This ensures taxpayer dollars are not used to fix incomplete or substandard excavation work.
