Hello, I have a question regarding which party should hold a bond for excavation activities. I work for a prime utility engineering company and we frequently require the services of a subconsultant to perform small utility excavations (i.e. expose a pipe at one single location). Because the bonding process is new to our company (we only just started including excavations as part of our scope of work), we are trying to determine who should procure the bond - us, as the prime, or our subconsultant, as the excavator. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you,
