Eagan Excavation and Fill Bond
What it is & who requires it
Contractors excavating, removing, storing or filling rock, sand, gravel, dirt, clay or similar material in Eagan. What distinguishes this from an ordinary restoration bond is how it is sized: the amount is a per-acre minimum applied to each acre, or portion of an acre, being disturbed at any time. That makes phasing a pricing decision — a contractor who opens the whole site at once owes more bond than one who works it in stages — and it means no single figure describes the requirement. The condition is restoration cost rather than performance of a contract, and it sits alongside an express hold-harmless for claims arising from negligent excavation, removal, storage or filling. Note that Eagan bonds no construction trade at all: a whole-code read found seventeen documents mentioning a bond and the only other figure among them is a pawnshop license.
Obligee: City of Eagan (City Clerk; Engineering Division). Citation: Eagan City Code § 4.30 (Excavations and fills — the applicant shall hold the city free and harmless from any and all suits or claims for damages resulting from the negligent excavation, removal, storage or filling of rock, sand, gravel, dirt, clay or other like material within the city, and shall post a performance bond on a stated minimum for each acre, or any portion thereof, being disturbed at any time, running to the city, conditioned to pay the city the cost and expense of restoration of an excavated or filled area); Chapter 4 (Construction Licensing, Permits and Regulation, including Excavation and Mobile Home Parks).

Term & renewal
Term: Posted before the excavation or fill work proceeds, running to the city, and conditioned to pay the city the cost and expense of restoring an excavated or filled area.
Renewal: Sized to the ground open at any one time rather than to a license year, so the exposure moves with the phasing of the work.
Filing
Posted with the city before the work proceeds. No figure renders because the ordinance states a rate rather than a sum — a minimum per acre or portion of an acre disturbed at any time — so the penal sum is computed from the site rather than read off the code. Ask the engineering division how it measures disturbed area at any time on a phased job, because that measurement, and not the rate, is what determines the bond.
