Dacono Excavation Permit Bond
What it is & who requires it
Permittees excavating in Dacono. The security insures that the excavation and surface restoration are made in full compliance with the excavation article and the terms of the permit. Two features are worth planning around. Restoration is defined tightly — the surface must be returned to the general level of the ground, including street or sidewalk surfacing, in the area where the excavation was made, and no excavation may be undercut or wider at the bottom than the top. And half of any street, alley or public right-of-way must stay untouched for traffic until the other half is restored for safe use. Communications facility installations that entail excavating a public highway must show proof of bonding under this same section.
Obligee: City of Dacono (City Engineer; City Council). Citation: Dacono Municipal Code § 11-5 (Performance bond); § 11-6 (Notice of work); § 11-10 (Cure of defects); § 11-124(c) (proof of bonding for communications facility excavation); Ord. 476 § 1, 1996.

Term & renewal
Term: In full force and effect for one year after completion and acceptance of the work by the city.
Renewal: Per permit.
Filing
Provided to the City before the permit issues. No figure appears here for two independent reasons. The instrument is co-equal in the ordinance’s own words — a cash deposit, a surety bond, or other form of guarantee acceptable to the city — and the amount is a formula rather than a sum: sufficient to cover estimated closing and restoration expenses as estimated by the city engineer, or a published floor, whichever is greater. A third route exists for some applicants: at the city council’s discretion a letter of responsibility may be accepted in lieu of the deposit or bond from any public utility company, special district or school district. If the city finds a violation it notifies both the permittee and the surety on the bond, describing the curative work, its estimated cost and a reasonable time to complete it. Authority: Dacono Municipal Code § 11-5.
