$100 flat.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The Town of Berlin issues a continuous (annual) right-of-way permit to contractors who do ongoing work in its streets, administered through its Department of Public Works. The Town conditions that continuous permit on a $2,500 surety bond rather than bonding each job separately.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Town of Berlin (the obligee). The bond guarantees you will restore every right-of-way opening to the Town’s specification across the permit period, so Berlin is not left paying to fix work you walked away from.
It is not insurance for you — if the Town makes a valid claim and the surety pays, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore their cuts properly treat the continuous bond as a permit formality.
