Bond Penalty: $25,000

A San Francisco Port Commission Excavation Permit Bond is a surety bond required by the City and County of San Francisco, acting through its Port Commission, from any contractor or entity that plans to perform excavation or encroachment work on property under the jurisdiction of the Port of San Francisco. The bond guarantees compliance with municipal regulations and specifically supports the issuance of permits for street or surface cuts within the Port’s managed areas. Under Article 2.4 of the San Francisco Public Works Code, a $25,000 surety bond is required to ensure that permit holders restore public right-of-way to proper condition and satisfy all safety and structural standards set forth by the Port's Engineering Department.

This bond is required from any party performing excavation in or near port-controlled public streets or rights-of-way, including utility trenching, infrastructure upgrades, or any other form of sub-surface disturbance within the Port’s operating domain. The purpose of the bond is to protect public assets and ensure full remediation of any surface disruption caused by the permitted work. The obligation remains in effect for a period of three (3) years from the date the pavement or surface is restored. The surety may cancel the bond by giving thirty (30) days’ written notice to the Port of San Francisco Engineering Department at Pier 1, The Embarcadero, San Francisco, CA 94111, so long as restoration work is more than three years old.
