What is a surety bond, and why do I need one for my Trumbull Street Excavation License?

A surety bond is a three-way contract between a Principal (the individual applying for a Street Excavation License in Trumbull, Connecticut), an Obligee (Trumbull, CT), and a surety company (the company financially backing the bond). A surety bond does NOT act like insurance for the Principal; instead, it protects the obligee from any financial liability in the event that the Principal fails to perform their duties according to the guidelines, laws, and regulations set forth in the terms of their licensing and the Trumbull Code of Ordinances. In the event of any violations, the Town of Turnbull and the public are free of any liability or obligations - they are protected by the surety bond. The requirement for a bond is made clear in the Trumbull Code of Ordinances, Part II, Chapter 17, Article V. Any application for a license to excavate, take up, encroach, or otherwise obstruct a street in Trumbull, CT requires that you file this surety bond with your application. Any applicant who has not yet filed this surety bond with the Town of Trumbull will not have their license approved.

This surety bond is for the amount of $10,000/year, and the costs are as follows:

1 year - $115
2 years - $201.25
3 years - $287.50

This bond does not require underwriting, and therefore there is no credit check necessary for your application. After you submit a complete application and your payment, your bond will be issued within 1-3 days. Keep in mind that this bond must be active for the entire duration of your license.

If, during the course of your licensed work, there are any damages that occur, this bond ensures that the Town of Trumbull and the public (taxpayers) are free of any obligation. Your surety company will make any initial payments, at which point you are obligated to fully repay your surety, including any associated fees. It is very important that you and your employees understand the terms of your license and bond, to avoid any claims that may be filed against your bond as a result of any violations. In the event of a claim, your surety may revoke your bond until the matter is settled. If your bond is revoked, your license will be invalid until you file a new bond with Trumbull.

A claim against your bond occurs when you violate the laws, regulations, codes, and guidelines that pertain to your licensure. Claims act as marks against your "credit" in the bond market, meaning that each claim will complicate future bond applications.

I have processed 2 defective title bonds through South Coast Surety and I am the type that gets worried for any little detail and want to make sure everything is done correctly the first time to prevent double work for myself and everybody.

South Coast Surety has the ultimate best customer service.

I was shopping for a surety bond for the first time and having trouble communicating with several different companies. When I contacted South Coast Surety they responded quickly and performed the transaction quick and easy. I might have been able to find a lower price, but their professionalism was worth a couple extra dollars.

We are opening up a Mental Health Residential Treatment Center and needed a Surety bond since we will be handling some clients cash resources. I reached out to South Coast Surety, they sent me an application, paid our premium and had our bond sent to us immediately. Everyone I spoke to and emailed was courteous, attentive and responded very quickly. We will most definitely continue to get all of our bond services from South Coast.

I was in need of obtaining my CA Insurance Bond. I was able to obtain my required Bond quote online within minutes. I approved the quote and requested the Bond to be issued. On the same day, I received the Evidence of Coverage. Could not ask for better pricing or better service. I highly recommend South Coast Surety to meet a wide range of Bonding needs.
