What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A highway right-of-way bond is a restoration guarantee to the Town of Farmington. When you open the road, install a driveway apron, or run a utility line in the public right of way, the Town wants a financial backstop that you'll restore the pavement and right of way to its prior condition.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Town of Farmington (the obligee). If you leave the right of way damaged or fail to restore it per the permit, the Town can recover against the bond to make the repairs.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore the right of way cleanly treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.
