Ogden Excavation Permit Bond
What it is & who requires it
Contractors and utilities who excavate in an Ogden street or other public way under an excavation permit. Ogden requires security of each applicant before the permit is issued, to guarantee faithful performance of the permitted work and compliance with the city’s ordinances and regulations. The chapter runs alongside Ogden’s engineering standards for public-way improvements and excavations and its rules on repairing or replacing public-way improvements.
Obligee: Ogden City (City Engineer; security approved by the City Attorney). Citation: Ogden City Code § 7-5-14 (Bond Requirements); Title 7 Ch. 5 Excavation Permits.

Term & renewal
Term: Held for the permitted work and the guarantee period the ordinance attaches, covering compliance, prompt completion and restoration of the public way.
Renewal: Maintained with the City; contractors working in the Ogden right-of-way regularly keep security on file rather than posting one per permit.
Filing
Filed with Ogden City before your excavation permit is issued. The ordinance requires an acceptable security rather than a bond specifically, and makes the form of the security and the entity issuing it subject to the City Attorney’s approval — so a non-surety instrument can satisfy it. It names a figure and then lets the City Engineer increase or decrease that amount whenever the cost of work left unsatisfactorily completed would differ from it. Between the open instrument and the engineer’s discretion the bond is listed here, and the exact amount is confirmed when you apply. Liability insurance at the levels the chapter specifies is filed alongside it. Authority: Ogden City Code § 7-5-14.
