Carson City Excavation Bond
What it is & who requires it
Contractors and utilities excavating in a Carson City highway or right-of-way under an excavation permit. Carson City requires a bond only where it judges one necessary to protect the city; where it does, you may either bond a particular job in a sum the board designates, or keep a general bond on file that covers all of your work rather than any particular job.
Obligee: Carson City (Board of Supervisors / City Engineer). Citation: Carson City Municipal Code § 11.08.030 (Highway and Right-of-Way Excavations — Bond).

Term & renewal
Term: Per the permit for a special bond; continuous while maintained if you keep the general bond on file covering all of your work.
Renewal: Per-permit, or continuously while the general (blanket) bond is maintained.
Filing
Executed to Carson City before your highway or right-of-way excavation permit is issued. Carson City requires the bond at its discretion rather than on every permit — the ordinance says an applicant may be required to bond, and the board designates the sum — so the bond is listed and the exact amount is confirmed when you apply. In place of bonding each particular job, you may maintain a general bond with the city that covers all of your work; while it is on file you are not required to post a special bond. Authority: Carson City Municipal Code § 11.08.030.
