What it is and who needs it.
What the Ridgefield street opening bond covers
A street opening bond is a guarantee to the Town of Ridgefield that after you cut or excavate a town street, you will restore the pavement to the Town’s standard and follow the conditions of your permit.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Town of Ridgefield (the obligee). If the street is left unrestored or fails after backfill and you do not make it right, the Town can recover its repair costs against the bond.
The bond amount is set by the Town — typically by the Ridgefield Highway / Public Works department based on the scope of the work. The premium runs 1% of that amount, $100 minimum. No credit check up to $100,000, and most applications approve instantly.

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

What sets the price
