Casper Street Excavation Bond
What it is & who requires it
Anyone doing excavation or street work in Casper under the city’s street excavation chapter. The security must be on file in the city engineer’s office before any work begins, and no permit issues without it. Normal street maintenance by the public works department is exempt. If you fail to restore properly and the city does the work, the entire cost including materials is payable on demand, and until it is paid the city issues you no further permits — a collection route the ordinance says may run against your bonding company as well as against you.
Obligee: City of Casper (City Engineer). Citation: Casper Municipal Code Ch. 12.16 (Street excavation — bond and permit); Ord. 11-00 § 2, 2000; Ord. 5-93 § 1, 1993; prior code §§ 34-18, 34-26.

Term & renewal
Term: Held to guarantee faithful performance of the excavation chapter for the work the permit covers.
Renewal: Filed before any work is done in the city limits under the chapter; the city engineer holds it.
Filing
Filed in the Casper city engineer’s office before you do any work under the excavation chapter. The ordinance does not treat a bond as the only acceptable security: it accepts a corporate surety bond, an irrevocable letter of credit, or a certified check or cash deposit, and where the cash route is used it is sized to your estimated construction charges, whichever is greater. Because the instrument and the amount both depend on which route you take, we quote it rather than publish a figure. One practical point: unpaid restoration costs stop further permits from issuing until they are settled. Erosion and sediment control on a Casper site is a separate permit and a separate security. Authority: Casper Municipal Code Ch. 12.16.
