Thomaston Excavation Bond
What it is & who requires it
A contractor that opens or excavates a public street, highway, or right-of-way in Thomaston must post this permit bond with Town of Thomaston before the road-opening / excavation permit issues, guaranteeing proper backfill, restoration of the pavement and public way, and reimbursement of the municipality for repairs. (CT preempts municipal general-contractor licensure — the Thomaston contractor requirement resolves to this public-way bond, not a GC bond.)
Obligee: Town of Thomaston. Citation: Town of Thomaston Driveway Permit Specifications (per Driveway Ordinance adopted April 7, 1986; C.G.S. §7-148(c)(6)(C)).
