Palisade Excavation Permit Bond
What it is & who requires it
Anyone excavating in the Town of Palisade under an excavation permit. The bond protects the Town against loss or liability resulting from the excavation and guarantees payment to the Town for any expense it incurs replacing paving or other surface grading. The permit application must state where the excavation will be, its size, its purpose, who is making it and for whom, and how long the work will take — and missing the stated time is itself a violation of the article.

Term & renewal
Term: Held with the excavation permit; the permit itself states the time estimated from commencement until the affected area is restored to its original condition.
Renewal: Per permit.
Filing
Filed with the Town Clerk before the permit issues. The figure is published here because Palisade names the instrument and fixes the sum: the bond must have as a surety a corporation licensed to do business in Colorado as a surety company, and the article offers no cash deposit, letter of credit or other security in its place. Evidence of liability insurance covering personal injury and property damage arising from the excavation is filed with the application as well. Note that the amount in the ordinance is smaller than the figure that circulates for Palisade in surety catalogues; the ordinance is what governs. Authority: Palisade Municipal Code § 11-44.
