What it is and who needs it.
What the Putnam road opening bond guarantees
A road opening bond is a guarantee to the Town of Putnam that after you cut or excavate a town road for a utility or service connection, you will restore the pavement to the Town’s standard.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Town of Putnam (the obligee). If the road is left unrestored or fails after backfill and you do not make it right, the Town can recover its repair costs against the $3,000 bond.
The bond amount is fixed at $3,000 by the Town, and our carrier prices this specific bond at $100 flat for every contractor. We track renewals and notify you 60 and 30 days out.

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 $3,000 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; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
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 Putnam. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your Putnam road opening permit application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $3,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
