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.
