What it is and who needs it.
What the Milford right-of-way bond covers
When you cut into a Milford street, open a sidewalk, or work in the city right of way, the City of Milford wants a financial guarantee that you will restore the surface and follow the conditions of your permit. The blanket form covers all of your permitted right-of-way work for the bond term, so you are not posting a new bond for every opening.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Milford (the obligee). If you leave a trench unrestored, damage city infrastructure, or abandon permitted work, the city can recover its repair costs against the bond.
It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays the city, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore the right of way and close out their permits treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.
