What it is and who needs it.
What the Ellington right-of-way bond covers
The Town of Ellington controls work in its highways and rights-of-way. When a contractor or utility opens or occupies a town road — for an excavation, a service connection, or a driveway cut — the town conditions the highway right-of-way permit on a surety bond.
The bond is a restoration guarantee. It runs to the Town of Ellington as obligee and stands behind your obligation to backfill, repave, and restore the road to town specifications, and to fix any settlement or damage that shows up afterward. If you leave a failed restoration, the town can recover its repair cost against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the town, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore their cuts cleanly treat the bond as a permit formality. Pricing on the amount Ellington set is 1% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum; no credit check up to $100,000, and most approvals are instant.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the Town of Ellington. Submit the executed bond with your highway right-of-way permit application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the town insists.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $100,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
